Embarkation

4 out of 5
Line looked really long but was constantly moving and did not take long at all to get on the ship - 20-30 minutes

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Enjoyed all the food. Buffet had good selections - only ate there for a couple of breakfasts. Dining room was good - service was awesome. There were a couple of items that were not to my liking but that would/could happen at any restaurant I ate at consistently for a weeks time. Cagney’s was impressive! Filet mignon was super tasty - highly recommend! Le Bistro was also enjoyable - had the filet here as well and to be honest it was better at Cagney’s.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Enjoyed H2O. Trivias were good. Deal or No Deal was fun. You could keep yourself busy all day if you wanted to.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
I thought the entertainment on board was fabulous. Choir of Man was outstanding. Howl at the Moon was super entertaining and Syd Normans at the Pour House was soo good. Only complaint is the size of the Pour House for such a good show. We got there over an hour before performance time and still had to stand for the whole thing. I have seen complaints about the entertainment and I really do not understand them at all. 🤷‍♀️

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Every staff member we encountered was very friendly and helpful. Our room steward was awesome. Our waiter in Le Bistro was so good. No complaints here at all

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Seemed smaller than last balcony cabin we had on another cruise line but it was sufficient

Ship tip

Make sure to book your entertainment as soon as you get in the ship! If unable to do so - use the standby line. As Jack the cruise director said many times - they really do work.

Ports of call

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

Just walked around and then did the tram to the top of the mountain and had a bushwacker.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Did self embark and the long line moved along very well. Took 20 minutes and we were off the ship. My only complaint is people! Lol. All the announcements about please do not start lining up until you are asked to do so meant nothing to alot of people. 🤦‍♀️
