Review summary

Had a great time, it was very relaxing, right up until time to get off the ship!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Aside from long lines, it seemed organized and went well. Some of our luggage didn't get to us until quite late though.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was great, and the service was excellent. Especially in the main dining room, Ni and Stephan.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Loved the FlowRider!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Cats was a disappointment and we walked out during the break. The aqua-theater shows were great though, and the best entertainment we found onboard was Charlie Jourdan, we went back to hear him play more than once. The violinist (and pianist) in Central Park was very good too.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Ni and Stephen were exceptional in the main dining room! Also, Philip was in charge of our cabin and was wonderful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was very clean, and well kept up with.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was very comfortable and clean, except that the glass was hard to even see through on the balcony below the railing.

Ship tip

Enjoy!

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida Did not visit port

This is just where we boarded and ended

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
We did not do an excursion, but walked to the local beach. It was disappointing in that the view was so industrial and the beach was gravely with broken glass laying about.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
We did the St John's all inclusive beach snorkeling excursion. Beautiful sights and great tour guides.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

4 out of 5
Did not do an excursion, but took the taxi boat over to the shopping and beach area. Beaches were extremely crowded.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
This was the biggest disappointment of the trip. We were given a time for the self-assisted departure, and there was no announcement of a delay so literally thousands of people ended up crowding the halls and stairwells and Prominade deck and even back into the cabin hallways, standing for what seemed like forever waiting to move. People were coming down elevators and getting into the crowd mid-stream, and the whole thing was very chaotic and frustrating. It could easily have been handled much better with some simple information/directions over the PA System!
