Review summary

The ship was beautiful. Very large with many public areas. The "Sound of Music" dining room was especially dramatic. Everything was clean and beautifully maintained. I loved that the pool area had been designed by an artist. It brought a lot of whimsy and charm to that deck. The theatre was comfortable. It was never difficult to find a seat and Studio B was a great place to watch not only the ice show, but all of the crazy contests that our shipmates participated in. Studio B was very high tech and colorful.

Ports of call

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Would have liked an all day exursion to the best snorkeling spots. Perhaps a couple of hours in two or three great spots with lunch. We went over to St John's Trunk Bay on our own, which was a hassle, but well worth the trip. The exursions offered were not of interest to us because they required too much time on a bus. If an all day snorkeling only exursion trip had been offered, we might have done that.

Wish the weather would have been better, but the island is great! Very well organized!
Don't Miss: Jet skiing in the Cay!

Pros: I loved our Balcony Stateroom. It was wondeful to sit out on the deck and enjoy the ocean or when in port, the beautiful vistas. I will always make sure to upgrade to this type of cabin in the future.
