Service and staff were excellent!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The ship was clean. It is an older ship, but we like the layout of the ship. We enjoyed sitting on Deck 5 in the shade.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Cabin smelled bad when we arrived. Carpet was wet and had soured. They did clean carpet the next day, which eliminated the bad odor.

St. John's, Antigua

Antigua is beautiful. We took a tour through Cruises Only. We went to the beach, had lunch at the beach, toured an old home, and stopped at a Pineapple Farm. It was enjoyable.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

We took a tour through Royal Caribbean on the Dutch side. Tour was nice, but the island is still has a lot of damage from the hurricane. Our tour guide said the French side is even worse.
