great ports of call; expensive; ship services seemed "below par" to other cruises I've taken but still nice and comfortable. Good experience and glad we did it!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
good food but menu and service seemed at lower level than other cruises

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
we spent our days off-ship and seeing the Islands and evenings were spent on-ship for dinner and evening entertainment...so didn't really have a chance to use onboard activities

Entertainment

5 out of 5
very enjoyable entertainment shows in the evening

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
some very nice, friendly staff but others were "stiff" in their attitude, behavior

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
older, smaller ship than I've cruised on before. fewer amenities (lower ceilings, few electrical outlets in cabins (no outlets by bed for medical equipment); clean and maintained; more motion from waves than other ships I have sailed on

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
nice; few electrical outlets and none by bed for medical equipment (c-pap) or phone charging

nice ship but older with fewer recent improvements; more sea motion (particularly for those subject to motion sickness)
