Review summary

The ship and the staff were great ,but we were mislead with the "freestyle" advertising. Company claims that you can eat whenever and whereever, but doesn't tell you that ALL restaurants need reservations, except the buffet. We were very limited on our dining choices for dinner. Company claims that you don't need to get dressed up for dinner and are able to wear "resort casual" attire, but wouldn't let men in the restaurants unless they had long pants. My husband had on nice Docker shorts and a Hawaiin shirt, but was denied entry, because he didn't have long pants.

Had a good time at Magen's Bay beach. Bluebeard's castle tour was awesome and the views were amazing.

Not impressed, just a crowded beach. We went back to ship early to get away from the crowds.

This was our favorite stop! The scenery and the homey feel of the island were great. Must see Nelson's Dockyard and the view from Shirley heights was awesome.
