Review summary

We enjoyed our rest and relaxation on this cruise! Can't wait to schedule another one!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Despite being pushed out an hour later the day before due to coast guard inspection it went very smoothly

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Specialty dining venues were exceptional - main dining was only done for 2 breakfast and buffet was avoided but there was food poisoning cases from buffet on this trip..

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We had plenty of trivia and game shows and puzzle games to entertain us. We did not get in the pool as it was very small and the adult pool is in a solarium which is always hot and stuffy.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The cruise staff are all exceptional and personable and go out of their way to make sure you are enjoying your cruise! With the exception of one chef that would not refire a steak for me on the first night.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Its an old ship that is well maintained. It was easy to navigate.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Perfect size for room to relax and balcony to enjoy scenery

Ship tip

Its a small ship so you do feel quite of bit of rock and sway on this ship so if you are prone to sea sickness just pack the 24 hour non drowsy Dramamine and you will be fine.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
Had Dinner out the night before cruise - was really yummy!

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

2 out of 5
We did a "cooking class" that was rather disappointing @ Ocean World but the the animal shows at Ocean World were entertaining.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
Emotionally tied to this port as we had family that lived here for 10 years and we all visited during that time. We love snorkeling here and made a visit to Udder Delite for our traditional milkshake memory!

Castries, St. Lucia

5 out of 5
We made our own chocolate bar at Howellton Estate - we also got to keep our apron from this one! It was fun and great experience - especially since it rained all day!

Bridgetown, Barbados

3 out of 5
We only walked around the shops there in port. Nothing really sparked our interest here.

St. John's, Antigua

5 out of 5
We did an ATV excursion outside of RC - We had a blast! This island is beautiful and we would come stay there!!!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy!
