Review summary

Highlights:

1 - Food was very good across the board

2 - Room Service was excellent

3 - Music entertainment was very good.  We enjoy dancing together and there were multiple venues for that.  Love the dining room with dance floor (Manhattan's).

4 - Kudos to "The Manhattan Band".  Great music and enjoyable.  Our favorite band on the boat

5 - Stage shows, comedians and Cirque show were all very good.  Great talent, good lighting, music and sound was excellent

 

Suggestion:

1.  Stage Shows were excellent (Burn the Floor and Pricilla Queen of the Desert), but we felt the content of the Pricilla show was a little to edgy for a general cruise ship audience.  We heard many similar comments from  other folks (people we didn't know - just chats on the cruise).  A more mainstream show would be more appropriate and better received by the majority of passengers

 

2.  Stay on St Thomas was too short (8am-2pm).  Made the port stay feel a bit rushed and could not enjoy as much as St Thomas has to offer.

No comment hear as the weather for our stay on Great Stirrup Cay was cancelled in the morning. Looked like a great place. Maybe next time...
