Overall enjoyed the cruise. The food was excellent with many choices.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Buffet was difficult due to there not being any trays to help transport plates and drinks to a table. The main dining rooms offered great selections to choose from including desserts!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Some activities had a fee but there was no notice ahead of time what the fees would be, making it hard to budget. Also no movie theater on board--movies were featured on in room TV but there was no guide to list times movies would be shown.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Carlos Leal, Piano Man was excellent and enjoyed his playing and singing. Also enjoyed the Showman Band when they did a tribute to Big Band Era.

Children's Programs

No children were with us on this cruise!

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Most staff were really pleasant. There was one staff member who would not help in regards to a question of a ferry between St Kitts and Nevis.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
By day 3, finally got the layout so as not to have to walk thru the casino.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Missed having an alternative seating other than the beds such as a sofa! Plus I was under the impression that the cabin was supposed to have an unobsructed oceanview---guess I was totally wrong on this count!!

Ship tip

If you prefer a smaller ship, the Jade is perfect.
