Review summary

A new ship, very clean and conscious of the need for sanitation. Over 4000 passangers and crew with no public reports of sickness on our cruise. Room service was excellent. Lots of things to do, even bowling with ultra-modern equipment. It was a lot of fun, great shows, and an easy going atmosphere. We plan to do it again.

Ports of call

Samana, Dominican Republic

Tendering to the shore was a problem, since there are so many passangers. Our excursion was to Cayo Levantado island beach. Nice, tourist only area.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

Excursion was a bus ride up and over steep mountains to a beach with high tides and large waves. Ride was interesting. Beach ok.

Bridgetown, Barbados

Our excursion was to Dover Beach with a 45 minute bus ride. Tee shirts here are too expensive. Beach was nice, mostly tourists. Would do again.

St. John's, Antigua

We decided to take a taxi to the Runaway Beach, $12 each way. This was a very nice, clean area, Don't miss this if you like beaches.

Castries, St. Lucia

Excursion to Rodney Bay, Reduit beach. Surf so heavy it was dangerous to swim. Island natives were not as friendly as on other stops. We will go somewhere else next time.

Pros: VIP treatment for the Honeymoon suite.

Cons: Free-style dining and resulting long lines, even with reservations. Smoky casino.
