Review summary

Very enjoyable and we would highly recommend it; but be careful of spending too much money on the ship provided tours and excursions.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
simple and quick!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
we did not do any of the specialty restaurants, but all the rest were very good!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
the indoor pool in the spa was relaxing and not crowded, the outdoor pool was too crowded!

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The dancing, singing and flying artists were very good!

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
our room steward was wonderful, we had a few "crabby" waitresses in the big restaurants.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
some areas were "old" - even though the ship has been refurbised.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Great bed - very comfortable! the room had some rust and age on the balcony and the shower hand held was in a cracked and broken holder.

Ship tip

that a balcony room is the only way to cruise!!

Castries, St. Lucia

4 out of 5
The tour was basic and the tour guide too opinionated, we ended at a very small beach that did not seem to represent the beauty of the island.

Thumbs Up

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

4 out of 5
the excursion to the Caves & Baths, which were so fun, was disorganized and too expensive... we paid about $100. and when we got there the other group pd. $38.00 plus $3.00 to get to the baths.
