Review summary

My first cruise experience was perfect. The convenience of a New York disembarkation, the 8 day length of the voyage, and immediate vacation gratification as soon as the ship was boarded were some of the highlights. FreeStyle dining was perfect for my way of life, and the cuisine was gourmet style with mouth watering dishes and attractive presentations. Bermuda was the best, with St. Thomas and Tortola a close second and third.

Ship experiences

Superb catering for every meal, buffet, specialty restaurant. Freestyle dining is the only way to have a stress free vacation.

Entertainment

The bands were very good . Some of the shows could have been improved but were satisfactory. The fitness center was more than adequate.

Service and Staff

The Hotel Director, Hugo Vanosmael, The Captain Gunnar, and "Rambo" the Dining Room Officer from Croatia, were exceptionally charismatic. The crew excelled at their jobs.

The ships officers and crew were exceptionally friendly.

Cabin / Stateroom

A suite would have been better, but the value for the size of the stateroom was perfect.
