Review summary

We are ready to cruise again. The sooner the better.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
A person in charge of the line would not allow me to check in with my wife due to a time mix up. He would not listen to me and why my time changed.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Everything was great. The food was not outstanding but still wonderful.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We basically sat by the pool the entire time. I just wish they would have had more bar serves roaming the pool decks.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
We went to one show and listened to many perfomrers in the centrum and pool deck. The music was nice.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward was awesome. He should be congratulated by his supervisor for an outstanding job of taking care of us.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship is now 18 years old and is showing it's age. BUt nothing was terrible about the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was a great cabon with a large balcony. We loved it.

Ship tip

If you sit by the pool in the Solarium make sure to get there early. It appeared that many people put towels on their chairs and left. I thought there was no reserving of deck chairs but it appeared to be allowed.

Ports of call

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
We missed this port the first time in 2018 due to weather. It is a nice place to play and relax. Definitley enjoyed the Drangon's Breathe Zip Line.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

3 out of 5
We were there from 2-10 pm so we only walked through old town and did some shopping before returning to the ship for dinner.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

4 out of 5
We rented a jeep and enjoyed the freedom of our own tour. We visited Orient Beach and Maho Beach. We ate at the Sunset Bar and Grill and I rode the fence for an airliner takeoff. A bucket list item.

St. John's, Antigua

5 out of 5
This was out first visit to Antigua. We did a catamaran and snorkle tour. It was good. The snorkling was not the best but just being in the water and stopping at a local beach was great.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
The fastest we disembarked ever.
