Review summary

Overall we had an awesome time. The people were great on the ship as well as the ports. The islands are beautiful just wish the excursions were more organized and you had more time.

Q was amazing, best brisket we’ve had. The buffet was good. The Manhattan Room was pretty but we felt rushed and communication about the menu could have been better but the food was good.

Ship Quality

The smoking room on deck 8 gets very crowded. The area on deck 16 is your best bet

Maria went above and beyond

Ship tip

Research your excursions. The stop in San Juan is too late in the day and most shops close at 6 during the week so there’s not much to do or see in the dark

We did the Sea Trek excursion. The sea trek was nice but we weren’t given enough time to see anything. They made us wait at the trek check in for almost a half hour before our turn so we didn’t get to see anything else. They also lost our photos. After we paid $39 for the photos, the girl at the register asked us to leave our email and phone number and she would email them but didn’t have any idea which group we were in to know which ones to send to who. Very unorganized.

We went to Long Bay Beach on Beef Island. Beautiful beach but you really only get about 90 minutes at the actual beach
