Got bad luck. Was a line as we arrived but still going pretty quick

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was a huge improvement (was 2017 on MSC DIVINA and the food real was suck) I’m a picky eater but found every day new stuff I liked. There are no complains at all

Onboard Activities

Didn’t really use the activities. Go on the cruises to relax and enjoy myself 😀

Entertainment

Basic entertainment. Have seen better on other ships. But worse too

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All staff I had to deal are very friendly and helpful

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Well here we had some problems. The ship himself was clean and the design was very good. Just to much clean mirrors. There was a few times where I try to step myself out of the way LOL. But for a pretty new ship it started already to getting used up. The bath room..... I just don’t remember had such a small bathroom/shower on all my previous cruises. I’m a skinny guy but had a hardest time in the shower. The elevators are just a disaster. When you are not good in walking the stairs you will waist a lot of time on waiting on the damn elevator and when the finally show up they are full und you have wait again. I just most of the time used the stairs. For the smokers. The smoking areas are very good but the was a constantly fight about the ashtrays on the 7th and 8th floor

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The rooms was nice and clean but the bathroom was the smallest one I ever experienced.

Ship tip

Be good to walk stairs. The elevators are suck

Ports of call

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
1st time in St.Maarten. Really liked it just had to less time to to see everything we liked to see. Taxi is $3 to downtown and it’s very nice. For the smokers. A carton cigarettes its $32 in the port area and only $28 downtown.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

4 out of 5
2nd time in St.Thomes. Took for $25 per person a taxi on the port and drove up the mountain. The most beautiful few you can imagine. Downtown St.Thomas not much to do when you already there before. Walked a little around, sit down and relaxed by a beer.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
To beginning was not very happy. First time in San Juan and then by night. But very soon found out how beautiful San Juan by night time is. Enjoyed every minute on it and don’t regret it. Will come back and see the other things next time

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Was pretty fast. Needed less as an hour from leaving the room, ship and customs to come to my car
