Review summary

We were new at this and it was exciting to learn everything about the ship and crew. We loved getting to know other couples and with the boat being small it was nice to see couples daily. The service was great, even cleaned our room several times a day. They were very organized and always kept us up to date with anything going on. We had a few medical evacuations and they were upfront with us right away. Service was amazing and dinner was great! Our favorite was the French rest. Le Bistro. I loved the excursions we took and would do this cruise or a similar one again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

It was our first time on a cruise so we were not sure what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised on how organized everything was and how easy it was to find our excursions. We had a wonderful time at the secret river, ATV riding, and snorkeling and swimming with dolphins!

Ship Quality

I really hated the smoking on board. I extremely disliked the smoking in the casino. Why can't we get rid of that especially on a boat?? It's not even breathable in there!!

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Our cabin was small and had an obstructed view. Wish it would have been better for our first cruise.

I loved the island but the excursion prices to do anything were outrages. I was to zip line but felt it was a rip off.

I think one of the best part of cruising (besides the obvious) is meeting new people and making new friends
