Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Great variety at the buffet. Main dining room is lovely. Observation lounge is a nice quiet place to eat and relax. Never tried the specialty restaurants because they cost extra.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The live shows and interactive entertainment. The jacuzzi. Never did the pool due to the small size, over crowding or temperature outside. Kids did the speedway, galaxy room, water slides etc. Goid fun.

Cabin / Stateroom

Clean cabin but snug. Space where the main bed ended and the wall is very small.

Ship tip

Take warm clothes. I took mostly light clothes and regretted that decision.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

No excursion and there was a blackout on the island.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Did a beach excursion but was only 2 hours. Not worth the money if you have many people in your party. Take a taxi and stay longer.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

4 out of 5
Very small island but nice. Again the beach excursion is too short.
