Review summary

Overall we had a lot of fun. Ship was pretty good but my past cruises on royal caribbean were definetely much more fun, although a lot more expensive.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Got our luggage pretty quickly, went very smooth.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
The buffets food was okay at best. Wish the ice cream was open 24/7. O Sheehans was where we went most the time, just wish there menu was a little bit bigger and that you could take food back to the room with you. Bamboo was somewhere we really wanted to go but was booked the whole time. Main dining rooms were excellent.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
There wasn’t much activities to do other than the basketball court, shuffleboard, and ping pong. I wish there was a bit more things to do.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Shows were entertaining, enjoyed all of them.

Children's Programs

3 out of 5
We do not have any children but there was many kids clubs and a water park for children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Every worker greeted us with kindness and made us feel very welcome. Stewards were absolutely amazing. We enjoyed having Gerald as our steward.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Very well maintained, the ships layout just took a little bit to get used to.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
There was only 2 of us in the room so the size was good.

Ship tip

If you are looking for things to do 24/7 this may not be the ship for you. Definetely worth the price though.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
We did not do much here but very beautiful.

Castries, St. Lucia

2 out of 5
The island itself was beautiful, although not very tourist friendly. Our excursion was the diamond falls and soufriere where we had a tour through the gardens. Tour guide was nice but the tour itself definetely was not what we expected nor anything we would recommend. We thought that the mineral baths were going to be a pond or lake of some sort but they were very small bathtubs which we did not go in. The waterfall was pretty but only got to view it for a little amount of time. I would not waste my time on this excursion as it was a little boring.

Bridgetown, Barbados

5 out of 5
Absolutely beautiful port, close to shopping and many beaches. We did an excursion to go snorkel and see shipwrecks. The shipwrecks were cool but we did not see as many turtles as we thought we would(only saw one). This excursion included food which was delicious. Would highly recommend this tour as the price including food and transportation was very reasonable.

St. John's, Antigua

4 out of 5
Beautiful beaches and island. We got massages on the beach, very nice people here.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
Our favorite island, very beautiful and tourist friendly. Many things to do. We rented jet skis and the price was very reasonable, beaches were stunning.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

1 out of 5
We could not find one thing to do except for the baths, which we opted not to do because of the crazy price. We got off port and there was nothing to see nor many things to do at all. Would not recommend this island.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
