Review summary

Overall was pleasantly surprised with our first “big” ship. Only seemed crowded on the first day, especially at the elevators. So many things to do loved Central Park and the entertainment was really good. Only ate at the Windjammer for breakfast one morning other than that ate in the main dining room or the other smaller areas no specialty dining .

Beautiful but didn’t seem to be able to draw a crowd during the shows other than the salute to the veterans which was so good it made you proud to be an American

Shore Excursions Desk

5 out of 5

Very helpful and up-to-date with information regarding the pre-booked excursions with arriving at port late

Entertainment

Shows were great especially the fine line and the comedians. Grease production was changed to grease “concert” due to rough seas thanks to an idea from the cast and it was wonderful.

Booked excursion to Sapphire Beach. Beach view was beautiful but too rocky and water was so rough you couldn’t swim with all the rocks and broken shells without getting knocked down and drug across the bottom. Best part of excursion was the island views during the ride to and from the beach.

Booked Maho Airport Experience-Sunset Beach Bar. Beach and drive was beautiful. Sunset bar was really good for a tourist area. Good drinks and chicken quesadilla was delicious. Prices reasonable on both drinks and food and good selection
