Review summary

Cruising at low capacity spoiled us for sure! Loved it!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
I found this to be smoother than boarding a cruise prior to Covid regulations! Testing was simple and well put together. Seamless in my opinion.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Buffet was good although I wish they had more options in different cuisine. Main dining was great! I enjoyed everything I ordered. Los Lobos was just “ok” but I have to say their guacamole was exceptional! Teppanyaki was not my favorite at all…our cook was “vanilla” compared to what we were seeing from the other tables. My noodles were stale and waitstaff were just not on top of their game compared to everyone else on the ship. Cagney’s was amazing! Top notch food and service!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff on board were absolutely wonderful!! They really go above and beyond to make sure you had anything you needed. We tip as we go and show our appreciation from day one. They were exceptional!!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was kept clean and was always tidy. The design could have a better layout though it’s cramped around the bed to the balcony. Drawers would be nice to store clothes or belongings. Our steward was amazing! First night our bed was way to hard and he found us a mattress topper and it was perfect!

Ship tip

Definitely splurge on a spa service! My husband and I did a couples massage and it was amazing!

Ports of call

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

4 out of 5
I wish we had more time at this port to explore. We visited the shops and had drinks at Aroma cigar and martini bar. The manager Steve was great and went above and beyond for our group!

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
We loved St Thomas! We did a sunset cruise and it was so fun! Had a nice lunch and explored the town!

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
By far our most relaxing day! We splurged on a villa and it was amazing! We snorkeled and had a great lunch in the private villa area.
