Review summary

This was a rescheduled anniversary trip and I felt like it was a blessing in disguise. Our 25th anniversary was 3 years ago now, but this cruise was much better than our original plan. I like being away for a whole week and the crew did not disappoint in making this memorable! We had adventures the entire time!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We often ate at the buffet. Main dining was nice a few of the nights. Overall, there was a good bit of variety.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I danced, danced, danced! I also sang a good bit, stretched, worked out, got a massage, and climbed the rock wall.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
I loved the opening show. The set was amazing! Both comedians were top notch, I loved the comedy shows in the theater.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was so polite and seemingly excited to be on the ship.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
There was non-stop maintenance happening on the ship. Our room attendant was fabulous.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The bathroom is tiny. I didn't mind the layout of the room. I think I would opt for balcony next cruise.

Ship tip

The smaller size of the ship made it easy to get to know almost everyone!

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
The sheer size of it - and so organized.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Fun and laid back with easy access. The locals were a bit overwhelming when it was time to shop though.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
The town itself was very Americanized - but it is part of the US! The architecture and the people were so up my alley.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
This was my favorite! The beach was sort of dangerous - large waves and serious undertow, but I loved the workout. The view was spectacular.

Frederiksted, St. Croix, U.S.V.I.

4 out of 5
We had fun with friends at this stop. The beach was very rocky. Water shoes are a MUST! The vendors here were so friendly.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

4 out of 5
The whole idea of Perfect Day is so cool. The only reason I can't say it was excellent was because the clouds made for a very cold day on the water. I was a bit sad!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy as pie...
