Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We visited mostly the Yacht Club Dining Room and Poolside buffet which were both fabulous, but also the Butcher's Cut which was delicious and nicely priced. The Pizza in the 8th floor buffet was great.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The fitness center on Seaside is nicely equipped and the attendant was great.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Every one on the ship bent over backwards for the guests. Our housekeeper was especially attentive

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything on this ship is spic and span

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Bed is extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. Storage space is more than adequate. Can't understand why there is no electrical outlet in the bathroom.

Ship tip

Book in the Yacht Club

Ports of call

Miami, Florida Did not visit port

Live in Florida. Been to Miami many times

San Juan, Puerto Rico Did not visit port

Ship arrived in San Juan at 5 pm and departed at 11 pm. We would have done a panoramic tour but thought we would not see much in the dark. Need some daytime in San Juan.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
We did not do an excursion, but always enjoy just strolling through Charlotte Amalie.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
Beautiful port. We did an island tour which took us to both the Dutch and French sides of the island. The shopping stop was disappointing with 45 minutes to spend on a very small mall and a flea market. Luckily there was a marvelous pastry shop.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Painless.
