Review summary

We were booked to go on the Eastern Caribbean and wanted to change to another destination as we have been to the Western Caribbean several times and we're told that would would lose our money if we did not go. Very little to do in the ports of call that have not been done. Disappointed in the theater on this ship. Very plain Jane and uncomfortable compared to other Cruise Lines we have been on. The food was some of the best we have ever had. One Saving Grace. The staff was very nice but it seemed a lot did not speak English, but there were a lot of people on this cruise that did not speak English.

If you do not go to the beach there is absolutely nothing to do here.

Can't really blame the cruise lines for Mother Nature. Unfortunately the ports we were all scheduled to visit cannot handle the logistics of a large amount of people coming to their weather battered islands. You are 100% correct about the theater. Felt like a HS gymnasium where they hold assemblies. We are going back on the Escape in Jan. Loved the crew on this ship. We had the pleasure of going on Rccl Harmony of the seas in June. The ship is absolutely amazing. The staff was worn down and way less friendly then on NCL.
