Review summary

The ship was amazing, the people were awesome, the experience overall was wonderful. The drink Package was a good choice for us. Getting on and off the ship was the best we had ever experiences. My only complaint really was the food. The payouts on bingo and such were small but I chose to play so that was on me. The food I couldn't control. I honestly believe the specialty restaurants were the answer but we didn't want to wait to eat for such long periods that we had experienced in the past. Hindsight- Apparently worth the time to get better food. The presentations and service still amazing. The quality of the food included was just poor. Gone are the lobster nights and baked Alaska's and crème brulee, etc. Still some fancy stuff but taste was just missing.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
This has been my only complaint. The drinks bars were amazing. The restaurants were wonderful. The service impeccable. The quality of food though was terrible. The better food and drinks are in the areas that charged extra. Cruises are known for lots of good food but seems this was the one area corners were cut and you could tell. I heard the specialty restaurants had amazing food. The general included food was just not good. :-(. Gone are lobster night and baked Alaska’s. Presentation was still wonderful though.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
All the activities were great. I thought the Bingo and Deal or no Deal game didn’t offer the pay outs like other ships I’ve been on in the past. This seemed very misleading. Again a corner cut to save the line money. I get it but leaves a bad taste but hey it’s gambling.

This is the highlight. Beautiful designed boat and super clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

Just great! Although directly under music every night the aft view was worth it.

Ship tip

Do the specialty dining even though a little more pricey.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

Beautiful island and went to a beach that was great. We wish we would have done the Virgin Gorda tour by the reviews. The people were the best here.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Another beach :-) beautiful beach. We had been here before also so hard to rate this island. It is Americanized so some of the experiences aren't quite as nice of an experienced as Tortola was.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Another beach :-). We have been here several times so hard to rate this one.

Disembarkation
