Review summary

The service in all the restaurants was top notch. We ate at Chops, Giovanni’s, and Hooked which had a gourmet menu and superior service. The only downfall was the lack of adult only venues and bars. We encountered small toddlers in all the hot tubs, pools, specialty restaurants and bars late in the night.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Boarded at 1 pm, very smooth and quick process.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Very quick and efficient servers. The food was always hot and served in a timely manner.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There was always a several trivia games every day, loved the Love and Marriage show. The walking/ jogging track on deck 5 was a nice break from all the crazy pool kids. There were 2 seating areas on deck 5, very quiet and peaceful.

Absolute Zero

A fantastic high energy show. Loved the talented juggler that performed midway in the show.

Aquadome

3 out of 5

Warning - there is only bench seating, which was very uncomfortable. Only one row with a back to lean on during the show. The diving show was well done, but a skateboard display seemed very odd during the show.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Top notch service at all the restaurants. Our stateroom attendant was very friendly and accommodating to our requests.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very bright and colorful decor. We followed the app to get to several venues, a lot of walking to get to our planned location.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very spacious junior suite. The comforter and pillows were very cozy. Lots of closet space, with shelves and also a 3 drawer cabinet was provided for storage. The adjustable shower head in the bathroom was convenient for tall and short guests. After a few days on board, I discovered that I could control the tv and lights on my phone app.

Ship tip

Beware, be prepared to dodge toddlers and strollers all over the ship, including the bars late at night.

Ports of call

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

3 out of 5
We booked the hot air balloon that was cancelled. I have never seen anyone on the ballon after visiting Coco cay more than 4 times.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
We took a shuttle to town, very limited shopping and restaurants.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
A nice clean beach nearby, no need to take any excursions for a beach break.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We did a early walk off taking our own luggage. No problems, quick and easy.

I'd rather dodge toddlers and strollers than walkers and scooters. I respect that some need walkers and scooters, but too many of them take advantage of and don't respect others around them.

They should have separate pools and hottubs for toddlers and children. An adults only should not have kids in them. They always end up blinding pools it hottubs got hours, maybe the whole day because of poop.
