Didnt really use except for walking. 3 times around. Equals one mile.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The singers and dancers were a little better than high school talent. In fact the singing was better. They just couldnt do two at the same time. The German juggler should go to mime school. It was embarrassing to listen to his lbgt joke once then he had to repeat it. He also made anti American political jokes as such. He also goofed several attempts at tricks and tried to cover them up as being part of the show. He was not good.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida Did not visit port

Only got on and off the boat here.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

3 out of 5
Disregarding the hurricanes, other things were show. That had no effect from the storms. Dirty, unclean yards,run down. Gave a creepie feeling. Crashed cars left on sides of roads. Guides said locals drive fast and there are lots of crashes. Took a minibus tour of the both French and Durh sides. Excellent guide. Learned a lot.

Castries, St. Lucia

4 out of 5
We took the catamaran snorkel tour to the plantation. That was fun but didnt see fish. The cocoa plantation was beautiful and the explanation of the cocoa making process was interesting. I would skip the cat tour and take a peivate taxi to the plantation.

Soufriere, St. Lucia

3 out of 5
This isnt a port just a sail on the coast. After being out most of the day we were impressed that this was anything but a pretty sail.

Bridgetown, Barbados

3 out of 5
Took a snorkel cat tour. No fish save your money and take a land tour.

Fort-De-France, Martinique

3 out of 5
If you dont know French better have a dictionaey and use Euros. No matter what others say. We took a driving tour to the church and St Pierre. Very good guide and interesting island. The not speaking French trouble came when we walked around on our own after the tour.

Daylight Cruise Past Mount Pelee

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

3 out of 5
A good place to get out for a walk, and swim. Our hamburgers were raw in the middle so switched to fish tacos. The fish tasted rancid. GlD i always bring granola bars and nuts.

I mostly agree, however, the 2 guys at Billboard on Board were great. It was my favorite entertainment venue. This ship did not have very good nite life. The shows were not par with other ships such as RCCL or Celebrity. I enjoyed the 2 days back to back at sea. The pool areas were very nice but as usual, never enough of chairs. The staff EVERYWHERE on the ship were exceptional. They were the friendliest, most personnable staff on Any line I have been on. Great staff. The food on board was excellent and plenty of options
