Review summary

Very good ship, staff and food! Many people, but it’s over the New Year, so everyone is having a holiday.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Long queue for embarking. Friendly staff.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The main dining room was great, good food and good drinks. The staff in the restaurants was very helpful and kind! I really like the casual cruise. We tried Teppanyaki, Le Bistro and Moderno. All was so good!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The pool in the back of the ship was hot, I haven’t seen that coming 😂 Small but hot! We enjoyed the water slides, beside the long queues all around the ship, because of its many guests! The theater had really good shows! We was watching standup in Headliners Comedy Club, it was OK, but I think you had to be American to get all the jokes. We also visited O’Sheehans multiple times. Their hot wings was awesome! We also enjoyed the Cavern Club, to see some live music.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
We had seen the Deal or No Deal in the Atrium. One night we decided to participate, and I won $400 👌🏻

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
All the staff worked as hard and fast as they could. But with many thirsty and demanding guests, there was some waiting.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
We were suspicious about the cabins, with the toilet and bath separated. That actually worked very well. One could go to the toilet and the other could shower.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Always nice and clean, great and helpful staff. The floor in the shower broke, but got duck taped 😅👌🏻

Ship tip

Just go and enjoy!

Ports of call

Bridgetown, Barbados

5 out of 5
We went to a nice beach, and some in our group was lucky to see seahorses and turtles!

Kralendijk, Bonaire

5 out of 5
We took a taxi tour on the northern part of the island. It was worth any penny!

St. George's, Grenada

4 out of 5
We walked through the rainforest and ended up at the seven sisters waterfall. Very good tour.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
We had three nights in San Juan before we set sail. Nice area, some very poor. We lived in the old town before the cruise, and had two days in the new, before getting home.

Castries, St. Lucia

5 out of 5
We went to a beach, where there is a cemetery, right next to the beach.

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
We visited Eagle Beach, it was so nice!

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
We went up the side of an Volcano. So warm, but was worth it all when we got to the top, and we looked into the crater.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
No problems at all!
