Review summary

We did not get to visit 2 ports, Cozumel and the Bahamas, due to Tropical Storms Lisa and Nicole. We'd recommend not cruising during hurricane system (June thru November in the Caribbean. Weather during this time is also very hot and humid, witnessed when visiting the 3 islands!

Ship Quality

auto sensor public toilets did not work! always had to push a button to flush (yuck--lots of germs there! We missed having an Aft elevator to get to the restaurants. They were reserved only for the suites. Had to use the mid-ship elevator and then double back.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Excellent except no lotion was provided.... at all!! Also, no ice was provided for drinks in the room. Had to get that at the food courts. The towels were nice and THICK, and the bed was very comfy. Chairs on the balcony were comfortable, too.

Ship tip

Don't book a room cirectly above any bars and entertainment areas!!
