Review summary

Fabulous trip and enjoyed leaving the cold and venturing into the warmth of the Caribbean.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Horrible - the lines were long and the folks working the desk didn't seem to care about the customers. Took forever to get key cards once we actually made it to the desk.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
All dining was excellent. We went to three specialty restaurants, the noodle bar and regular dining>

Fitness center, pools, slides, climbing walls etc excellent

Entertainment

The shows were great. Had to reserve two of them but found options that worked.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The crew works very hard to make everyone's vacation memorable.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Once you figure it out, it's not so bad but there is a strange 5th floor that you can't get to from all staircases.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was fine. Kind of strange that there was no real bathroom. The shower was on the left and the toilet on the right as you enter and the sink was in the bed area.

Ship tip

Get to the gym early - very busy

Ports of call

New York, New York

4 out of 5
Just arrived from the airport and got on the ship. Interesting how close to the city it is and as we sailed out it was a beautiful view of the city lit up.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
Seems to be fairly new. Clean and pretty. We went to a beach 45 minutes away - very pretty.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

5 out of 5
Love this port though we didn't have much time during daylight. We got delayed a couple times and had from 4 - 10 pm - not great when it gets dark at 6 pm.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
Love this beautiful port. Lots a shopping and beautiful beaches. We went kayaking in the lagoon. FUN

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
Love St Thomas but love St John even more. Always take the ferry over and then shop a little in Charlotte Amalie.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very quick and smooth. Plenty of taxis available for airport transportation.
