Review summary

With the exception of a cruise extension due to a hurricane and a cruise cut short due to the ship running aground and having to fly home, Cruising is the best of all vacations and the most relaxing experience that you can have while seeing a beautiful place every day and knowing that your room is there waiting for you at the end of the day.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Long line due to previous passengers not getting off ship until they were found hiding which delayed the embarkation by 1 to 2 hours.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The windjammer food was great however the food and service in the main dining room was below average. The beverages were great.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We did not participate in any however there were plenty of things to do.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The Temperature Band in Dazzles is the best entertainment we have seen on any ship and we have been on over 40 cruises.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The main dining waiter was a bit slow however the assistant waiter was excellent. Room steward was great as well as most of the windjammer staff and other personnel.

Ship tip

The ships are up to full capacity again so just be patient and relax and have a good time. Prepare to do a lot of walking which is good for you.

Ports of call

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5

The island is starting to make a comeback from the weather storms is experienced and the one and a half year of Covid shut down. This is one of our favorite islands to visit.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

We have been here many times and it is so familiar to us. Just like the previous comment this island too is trying to make a comeback from the Covid shutdown.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5

This stop is so much better than it used to be before the total upgrade a few years ago. With the shuttles running all the time it makes for an easy day for enjoying this beautiful place.

Nice review thank you. I’m sure we’ve all thought of hiding when we need to get off but I’ve never heard of anyone actually doing it!
