Review summary

Recommend a back to back cruise if you can do it. It was a lot of fun.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We were already on board the ship and did not have to disembark to go through the process again. however, we did have to be scanned off, go through Customs then be scanned back on. The process was easy & efficient & the crew was with us the entire time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Chose to only eat breakfast at Main Dining room. Did try Moderno buffet one morning. Visited buffet for a quick snack. Tried Ocean Blue Waterfront for lobster roll lunch. Specialty dining was very good

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
By choice, didn't participate in onboard activities, but always fun to people watch

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Since this was our second leg of a back to back cruise, the entertainment was the same so we skipped it. The exception was the "Jamming with the Crew", which was very good, hampered only by the fact it was held in the Atrium. I shared with one of the Managers who asked me my thoughts that they deserve a better venue. Apparently this is a newer feature so hopefully they move the show

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward Reynaldo was awesome. Putu, our waitress in Ocean Blue was so friendly & efficient. A special thank you to Trust at Cagney's who took care of us very well when our waitress didn't show up until we already had our order in, thanks to him.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Very well maintained, crew constantly cleaning the ship, and cleaning up after the guests

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Plenty of room for two adults. Bed was comfortable. Reynaldo kept it very clean.

Ports of call

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

4 out of 5
We had been there once before 10 years ago My husband remembered where to find a store he wanted to visit. We also walked around the pier shops. The pier and the shops are new since our last visit.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
For all the times we've embarked from San Juan we never visited. Walked through Old Town & visited the fort which was very interesting. Enjoyed the day. Helped burn some calories we'd been accumulating

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

4 out of 5
Spent a few hours on the beach. Very clean, water crystal clear.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Self walk off. With facial recognition being done on the ship itself, and a new well designed terminal (no escalator, just ramps) we were off the ship by 7:30 am

Is there any kind of discount for back to back bookings?
