This was the best cruise. Three days to relax and get in vacation mode, 5 days to run around on the islands then 3 days to relax before returning to reality.

Food and Dining

They revamped their dining room menus. Some nights I found it hard to pick something because nothing sounded good. Went with fallback of roasted chicken which turned out to be very good.

Entertainment
4 out of 5
This crews "all access" production was the best production show we have seen in a long time. They didn't blind the audience with the roaming spotlights, the band didn't drown out the vocals, the singers sounded good and you could actually hear the words they were singing, the dancers could dance. The band is excellent as always. Other performances weren't as good.

Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Cabin and steward were great. A couple drawers were hard to open and close. One of our suitcases was too tall to stow under the bed without crushing it. Found out they change out the matresses every 6 months.
We did the "bike st croix" excursion. It was fun, however, there were 25 people. I lucked out and grabbed a smaller bike. One lady got stuck with a bike too big for her. I would not have been able to ride if that happened to me.
Did "mt pimard nature trail and hike" through shore-excursions group. It was great. It was a difficult but short hike to some awesome views. There were 5 total on the tour and 3 that hiked to the top.
Did "mega island tour" through shore-excursions group. This one was way more than my expectations. Our guide Anne of Annie's Caribbean tours was very thorough and entertaining. There were 6 of us.
We did "2 countries, 1 bike". This was by far the best excursion I have ever done. It was extremely difficult and I had to walk up just about every hill (their term, mine is "mountain"). There were 2 guides and my husband and I. It was a Sunday with only one ship in port so traffic was really light. We biked 25 miles.
