Review summary
I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone who wants a good overview of what the islands have to offer. Good selection of excursions for seeing lots of amazing and beautiful sights. The ship itself was ok, but not outstanding. I guess that's what you can expect when there's no real competition allowed for other cruise lines to offer a similar trip. Cabin was smaller and more crowded than other cruise lines we've been on, though it was clean and the cabin steward was great. The food was only a step above mediocre but we loved all the fresh, juicy pineapple and other fresh tropical fruits available that we just don't seem to find on the mainland.

Ship tip
If you can afford it, I would recommend upgrading from window cabin to balcony. It seems that those were considerably larger and the balconies I saw in my exploring the ship were as nearly large as our outside window cabin. The Cadillac Grill is a pretty good lunch place. Not quite so crowded.
