The days went so fast on the shop. We were at the spa, did a corn hole tournament and ate at the fancy dining room.

They had a teen club and a kids area for kids 12 and under. It was great. They had a basketball/pickleball court on the top of the ship.

US virgin Islands- went to a tour which I booked through cruises.com . I missed my dive because the ship docked late. We had a great day. We went on sunny listons tour which was through cruises.com and it was the sightseeing, shopping, beach package tour. We bought jewlery - careful of the shopping- its in the diamond center. EXPENSIVE Stop! LOL. It was a great tour package.
