Review summary

We cruised for a total of 21 days & really enjoyed it!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
We cruised back to back, so we just got off & back on again with the other passengers doing the same. It took about 1.5-2 hours.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was very good. Enjoyed the dining room the most. Breakfast choices were good & the salad bar at lunch was good. We weren’t use to being served at the buffet, so that was different, not bad, just different.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Activities were just okay. A guest asked them to add Pickleball to the schedule & they did. They only had one court, but a nice net, just wood paddles, but we brought our own. Usually windy, even at the ports, but we still managed to play. They had a nice fitness center.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The musicians were very good. The stage talent was really lacking. If you enjoy sitting around listening to different types of music, then you will love this ship. Sitting around listening to music was okay for a little while, but not all night. We would have dinner, see the show & take a walk around the deck & it would only be 7:30. Most nights we went back to the room to watch a movie. Movie options were good. The Piano Man & Little Jo were the best entertainers.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
From the waiter to the room stewards and everyone in between, the service was excellent! And everyone was very friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Excellent ship, clean, newer, & well laid out. We enjoyed it very much!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This ship had the BEST showers ever! The room seemed really small after spending the last 10 days in the spacious spa room, but we had plenty of storage. We had an obstructed view, but still had a nice view of the ocean. Clean room.

Ship tip

Hope you like to sit around and listen to music. Great ship!

Daylight Cruise Past Mount Pelee

We saw it, took some pictures & sailed on. It was pretty, but not that big of a deal to me.

St. John's, Antigua

Took a taxi about 40 minutes away to a beach near the Pineapple Beach club. Too rough to snorkel & it rained. Swam & walked the beach.

We were here on a Sunday, so almost everything was closed. Just walked to the library & downtown & back.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
If you wait until it is your turn, then it goes very smoothly. Quick exit off & through customs.
