Review summary

Was on the ship for 2 weeks around the Caribbean. The people on the ship were fantastic. The selection of food and entertainment was second to none. However, on a downside, the TV HD channel was simply unwatchable, clearly an issue with bandwidth. Also on this point the “so called” WiFi ! Is exorbitantly priced and useless. It is intermittent and very slow, you get 3 gigabytes for £90, which will not last 2 weeks. Also on a separate note, I have a mobile WiFi’s dongle, which is global activated. I purchased a data sim from Digicell in Aruba. Digicell are available across all the Caribbean islands. However be advised !! Data sims only work in the Islands they are purchased in. I purchased a 5GB data sim and is now useless, less than 1/4 GB used, after leaving Aruba it is now useless ($50 down the pan). Only purchase one of these if you are staying on an Island for any length of time. The only other “issue” I would add is fairly minor, maybe even less if you do not watch the TV? There is a movie channel called movies now and then. A fantastic selection of movies, however if there were some schedule of movies available, rather than pot luck on what is coming up next, this would be great, for me and other movie buffs alike. Overall a great experience notwithstanding the points mentioned above.
