Review summary

Good value. We do not care for sea days- too boring. And the ports were not great, but the service, facilities and weather were all wonderful.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Absolutely the best singers and dancers we have ever seen in more than 20 different cruises. I was getting so sick of Broadway productions. Very innovative shows and the stage settings were fantastic well as the costumes.

Children's Programs

no kids

Cabin / Stateroom

You get what you pay for so our room was satisfactory. I didn't like the fact that when we wanted to upgrade they claimed there were no more ocean view rooms. Then we got email after email trying to get us to bid on a oceanview room. room.

No, did not see any excursions that appealed to us. Did not like the fact that the whole island was constructed as a tourist trap. Prefer natural land of the country. Everything compared to an amusement park.

We did take a taxi into town, so got to spend some time on the beach and do local shopping.
