Review summary

Our cruise was just what the doctor ordered, a restful break in our hectic life.  This is a beautiful ship and the staff were all extremely friendly and helpful.  We had usually stayed away from the larger ships because of the "crowd" feeling but other than our time at the Lido buffet we were never aware of any huge "crowds".  Things are broken up into smaller alcoves and intimate areas.  We spent most of our time utilizing the Spa and The Enclave.  Those services alone made the trip well worthwhile for us.  Our cabin was comfortable and we enjoyed viewing first rate movies in the comfort of the cabin.  We have traveled numerous times on several ships, but this was one of the smoothest trips we have encountered.  We were seldom aware of any movement of the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

Our cabin attendant knew we likes lots of ice and towels and kept us well supplied throughout the trip. The cabin was very comfortable and quiet.

Ship tip

If you want to eat at a particular time in the "anytime" dining, make your reservations early on that day or you could be facing long lines in the "walk- in" line, especially on formal nights or if you have a large party.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

3 out of 5
there is no shelter in the "pick up " area and the waits tend to be long so take water and a sunshade

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
The trip to see the rest of the island was well worth the time for those who are not beach minded.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
We had chosen not to take an excursion and that was good as this was a rain day for us so we wandered into town instead.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
The water taxi is the quick and easy and you can use it all day for multiple trips
