Review summary

This was a relaxing vacation. I'm glad I researched the ports and knew what we wanted to do in each. The beaches we saw were varied and each was beautiful. The ship was in good condition. The shows were good. Don't miss the parade mid-trip. Food in the main dining room was better than the buffet. Staff was very professional and friendly. Good value for the money spent.

We had a day pass at Marriott Stellaris to use the pool and beach facilities before heading to the airport on our way home. A great way to extend the vacation for a few more hours. Taxis were reliable and inexpensive compared to other places we visited on the cruise.

We had a 7-hour shore excursion booked through Shore Excursion Group to Coral World and Coki Point Beach. This was an excellent way to spend the day. Driver was prompt and was got to see some of the island. Beach was great for snorkeling. Staff and exhibits at Coral World were good too. Definitely recommend.

We had a 7-hour 3 beach snorkeling trip booked through Viator. This included a tour of the island. Pick-up was prompt and the beaches were gorgeous.

Expensive taxi rates to Mullet Bay Beach, but the beach was great. It had waves which were fun. Went to Maho Beach to view the planes in the afternoon. Traffic was terrible.
