Review summary

Enjoyable holiday though we find the USA very expensive these days

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Smooth start

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Disappointed with main dining room menus which are getting far too fussy. Service was good there though. The self service restaurant food was a good buffet well laid out

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We were happy enough as we prefer a quieter ship

Entertainment

1 out of 5
The shows were not very good which is unlike Holland America. One act in particular , Vicki Carr, was dreadful and not the type of entertainer you expect to get on a ship. We have not seen such a mass walkout before anywhere. The entertainment manager was also not very prominent and we never knew who his deputy was

Children's Programs

No children and this line is not one where you get many children anyway

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Staff were friendly and did their very best to make you welcome

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship relatively new and well designed

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Good size and quite well designed. Decent sized shower although I would have preferred a tub

Ship tip

Go you should enjoy it while it is at its best

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

4 out of 5
Nice place but would rather have had Miami

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
Private island nicely maintained and excellent for crashing out

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
One of my favourite Caribbean places

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
Fairly typical Caribbean resort

Kralendijk, Bonaire

5 out of 5
Lovely place which has been improved since our last visit

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
Gets better each time we visit

Oranjestad, Aruba

4 out of 5
These Dutch islands are well cared for

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
No problems
