Alot happened during this cruise. To much to mention. Ship definitly needs updating and a better layout. My overall rating for this ship shows as a 3.6 but is only this high because of the islands.
Embarkation
1 out of 5
Muster was a killer. Told us we had to be outside in the heat by 5.30. We were there by 5.20. Were told it would start at 5.45. Did not start until after 6.00. Took over 15 min more. People were almost passing out. The girl directing our area was rude and yelling at us.

Ship tip
Aruba, Curacao, Bonaire and Saint Marteen were great. Most staff were good but if you are a big time cruiser it will not be up to par with what you are used to
Went to Palm beach to the Holiday inn where there is a public beach (lounge chair rental $5.00 for the day). Lot's of places to eat and alot of water activities. Get there early if you want a shaded area. ALso walk through the Hyatt. Very beautiful. THey have parrots, black swanns and lots of iguanas
We went on a air conditined bus tour. Did not do cruise excursion. Once off ship and walking toward floating bridge found tour. It was $20.00 a person. Took aprox. 3 hours. Went to where they made the curacao liquor and had a tasting and also had stops with photo opportunities
Bonaire was beautiful. We took golf carts from Bonaire cruisers at $100.00 each golf cart on a south tour. Really enjoyed it. We made alot of stops so our 1.5 hour tour turned into 3.5 hours.
Very sad for the island and the hit it took from hurricane Irma. Still recovering and also in a drought right now so not alot of greenery. Our cab driver Friday was awsome. Try the nude beach for some fun. Maho beach was fun watching the planes land.
