Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We didn’t go to a specialty restaurant. Windjammer food was good, we usually had breakfast before 8:15 otherwise very crowded. Lunch on sea days was very crowded so tried to avoid. Main dining room was good for dinner, first night there was a problem with table assignments, our friends were not assigned with us even though our reservations were linked, but that got straightened out. Most part new menu was fine but did fine some entrees were very small. Tried dining room 3 times for breakfast and 2 times it took about an hour to receive our meal after ordering.

Ship tip

Size is great, easy to get around, very friendly eager to please staff. If you had a wheel chair though we notice some having a problem with some doorways

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
We didn’t tour Miami but have on other occasions. Port was nice & easy to navigate for boarding.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
We did not do a ship excursion but did do a walking tour with a local. It was great saw a lot we never would have seen on our own. He left it up to us to tip what we thought the tour was worth.

Frederiksted, St. Croix, U.S.V.I.

3 out of 5
We didn’t book an excursion and wish we had. Town itself was disappointing.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
We did do an excursion boat ride with steel band, with a beach break. It wasn’t the greatest beach been to some much prettier ones in St Kitts but it was fun with friends.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
We always enjoy walking the town, stopping at a beach nearby. The water taxi is great there.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Very relaxing day, nice bbq lunch provided by the ship. We were only ship there that day.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth, love the facial recognition departure goes much faster.
