Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The dining room food was delicious. The food in the Windjammer was average at best. The chicken was barely warm on most occasions and the desserts weren’t very flavorful.
Main Dining Rooms (Galileo, Isaac & Leonardo)
5 out of 5
The food was delicious and our server Noel was awesome.
Sorrentos Pizza
3 out of 5
The pizza had a strange taste and the smell was very strong.
Windjammer Marketplace
3 out of 5
Average food and sometimes tough to find a table.
Johnny Rockets
5 out of 5
Good food at a reasonable price and the staff are super nice. The only thing that would make it better is is they had more tables inside.
Café Promenade
4 out of 5
Good variety but needs more seating.
Ben and Jerry's
5 out of 5
Delicious ice cream with reasonable prices.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
We spent most of our afternoons on the ship in the adult pool which was too small for the amount of people on the ship and boring. They don’t even play music by the pool. The hours for the rock climbing were very limited.
Casino Royale
3 out of 5
I didn’t gamble but I give it a 3 because it’s like walking into a packed bar in the 80’s or 90’s. Way too smoky.
Swimming Pools
3 out of 5
The adult pool is too small and they need to play some music.
Jewelry Shop
4 out of 5
Great selection and some good deals. The sales people are a bit high pressure but they do it in a polite way.
Dunes Mini Golf
2 out of 5
It’s something to do but it needs some serious updating. When you walk on the greens it feels like you’re walking on plywood.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
We watched most of the shows including the ice show. We enjoyed all of them but we thought the singer Earl Thomas should’ve sang more songs in their entirety instead just one or two lines of so many. We watched one of the parades, played 80’s name that tune and participated in the battle of the sexes game.
Arcadia Theater
5 out of 5
Very comfortable and great shows.
Children's Programs
We didn’t have any children traveling with us.

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We were happy with the size of the room. The balcony was bigger than we expected. We didn’t think the bed was very comfortable. The cabin was clean with the exception of the tv and picture hanging on the wall. The only outlets are next to the tv so it’s possible that it was my hairspray all over the side of the TV. I’m not really sure if it was there when we first checked into our room or not.
Ship tip
Book a room closer to the elevators or you’ll be doing a lot of walking.
We went to the mud bath with lunch at a local restaurant. They should’ve told us it would be a 2 hour drive each way. The drive there wasn’t too bad as they made several stops to take pictures and do a little shopping. The ride back was terrifying. It’s pretty much all down hill on narrow roads With lots of turns and the drivers drive too fast. I actually got car sick. We enjoyed the mud baths but wished they had told us there would be a place to change when we were done. The views of the Pitons were breathtaking. I would take a tour and go the the mud baths again but would take a boat tour instead.
We didn’t take an excursion but heard a lot of good things from fellow passengers that did so my rating is based only on the port. I didn’t like that most of the shops were inside of a very warm building. It’s also a long walk from the ship. They do offer shuttles but nobody told us about this option.
We found it to be very unorganized. We weren’t called until 1 hour after our time. We were forced to get up early and rush to the theater just to sit and wait.
