Nice ship, great staff and service. All Inclusive is a definite benefit.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Very fast to embark. Straight from the airport at Barbados, no customs or immigration, straight to the ship.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
All inclusive food was excellent as per previous cruise. The supplementary dining clubs were also excellent and well worth the upgrade. Latitude and Vista were absolutely superb.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Not much on this ship to be fair. The spa is expensive. I had the tooth whitening done and I think it's a lot of money for very little result. Good deep tissue massage, but at £70 not cheap, and that was with a discount. Spa membership was £50 to start with.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Didn't visit the stage shows like we did last time as my wife doesn't like the room, it caused her to feel slightly seasick. The bands in the main bars were good, the casino excellent.
Children's Programs
No children.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Brilliant service and staff from all, except the Coffee Port, where they were slow, disorganised and lied to my wife about not having cold drinks available.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Apart from skanky customers leaving drinks glasses lying around in lifts and on top of water dispensers, the ship was thoroughly cleaned all day every day.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Great size, very large balcony, spotless and in good repair. Comfortable beds and loads of clothes storage.
Ship tip
Price up the Premium Upgrade. Also, go for the Premium drinks package, it gets you everything on the ship you could possibly want to drink.
Did a local excursion for $30 each as opposed to the ship wanting about £70 each. Great excursion, our driver even stopped at a roadside stall and bought us bananas! Visited the whaling town, plus the Pirates of the Caribbean bay,
Local tours very expensive, c$180 pp. Tui tours similar, over £70 per person. Stayed local, but the weather was wet all morning, so stayed in the tired and over-priced town.
Great place. Local taxi to Rodney Bay only $7 pp each way and you got to choose the time of your return. Tui price double that and you had to depart and return to the Tui timetable, not your own. Lively market town with interesting locals.
Long, LONG queue for immigration in the morning on the ship. Long queue for security in the blistering heat and humidity. No gate announcement until very late, and the ground crew didn't observe the priority boarding properly.
