Review summary

Excellent! Would visit most of these islands again! :) Enjoyed the blue waters, warm and sunny weather during an otherwise cold season at home! Enjoyed being pampered by room attendants, waiters, waitresses and free entertainment and activities while onboard!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We are platinum crown & anchor members so our embarkation process proceeded very quickly. Gentleman that checked us in was pleasant & joking with the kids too!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Couldn't thank Dejan & Leah in main dining room enough for the excellence service provided! Had drinks ready & waiting for us every evening before we even arrived! Leah knew exactly how each of us at our table of eight liked our steaks prepared without asking! They both came to know each of us by our first names only a few days into our cruise! Our head waiter came by each evening & welcomed each of us by our surnames as well! Food was just as good as our service! :)

Windjammer Marketplace

5 out of 5

Ate breakfast & lunch in Windjammer every day! Enjoyed service & music by Dejan! He's an excellent assistant waiter!!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The only activity our family participated in was ping pong. Enjoyed by all. This particular ship needs to upgrade activities although they only have so much room since it's an older, smaller ship in their fleet.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Enjoyed most of the evening entertainment. Missed seeing shows performed in the Atrium as we did on our last cruise, same ship, 2 years ago. Not much into musicians but the stage shows & magicians were phenomenal!

Children's Programs

children chose not to participate

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
customer service was phenomenal. Each time presented with an issue/problem, it was quickly resolved. Best service was provided by Allan. As for room service, room was always neat & tidy. Would like to have seen more towel art.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship was very clean on the inside. We had an outside cabin. The exterior window was so dirty, it was hard to enjoy the scenery (main reason for paying for an outside cabin). Remember on past cruises while in port, exterior was being washed.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Accomodated a family of 4 with 2 teenagers fairly well. Could've used a bit more room but overall it was acceptable. Can always use more drawer/storage space. Cabin was very clean & kept that way every day!

Ports of call

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
Best shopping deals in southern caribbean. Pay to go to Megan's Bay. Went to Emerald beach & it was very "shelly", difficult to walk into water with bare feet.

St. John's, Antigua

5 out of 5
One of my favorite islands on this cruise. Did shore excursion on own not through cruise line. Beach getaway which included buffet lunch, fruit punch, rum punch, lounge chairs & umbrellas. Little pricey for amount/variety of food served. Beach was absolutely beautiful.

Castries, St. Lucia

5 out of 5
Beautiful beaches. Took Trolley tour & beach excursion through cruise line. Neat way to see the island & get historic information. Stopped at cathedral & memorial park across the street. Could've used a little more time than an hour at the beach though!

Fort-De-France, Martinique

3 out of 5
Not impressed with this island perhaps because we didn't venture far from the port. Did some shopping. Very pushy with goods on this island. Vendors fighting over customers. Not recommended at all. Wasn't on original itinerary but replaced St. Maarten. :(

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
Another beautiful port in the southern carribean. No excursion. Took taxi to beach. Stopped at lookout point where Carribean Sea & Atlantic Ocean meet. Just breathtaking! Another beautiful beach with soft sand!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very well organized.
