Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food in dining room was very good and service was top notch. Never waited for a table in anytime dining. Buffet food was very good with good selection of food. During busy times can be challenge to find a table but just altered our schedule to adjust.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Plenty to do onboard for those who want to be active. Played pickleball for the first time which was fun. Also played basketball, golf and spent plenty of time in and around the pools. If your not traveling with kids check out the retreat pool for adults only much calmer and less activity.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows were great we really enjoyed them. Ended up with 2 comedians by mistake both were very different but very good. Beatlemania is excellent highly recommend seeing the show.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Never had a bad experience everyone was nice and eager to help. The bar in the pool area could use an additional bar tender. One person to handle that many people is a tall order for anyone.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean and well maintained. Just a beautiful ship. Easy to navigate and get around. We used the ocean compass to find places and people. Worked well.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Plenty of room for 2 people. Very clean our room stewart (Toon) kept the place tip top. Bathrooms are always tight on cruises and this one was no exception although I think the shower had a little more room.

Ship tip

Relax and Enjoy!!! Beautiful ship.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
Didn't do an excursion just used to embark and disembark. We like Ft Lauderdale because it's cost effective on flights and hotels are reasonably priced.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5
Enjoyed the beach area we didn't do any excursions. Bring your water shoes for beach very rocky tough on the feet.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

4 out of 5
We did a sightseeing tour of the island which was very nice. Still lots of hurricane damage. Lots of jewelry shops if you like that type of thing. Megan Bay was beautiful from hilltop observation area but very crowded when you actual got to the beach.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
Enjoyed this stop better than St Thomas. Interesting to hear differences between Dutch and French sides of the island. Lots of hurrican damage still visible. Enjoyed Mullit Beach very beautiful and clean. Enjoyed watching planes landing from Mahoo beach. Be careful can be dangerous. Pricing is better on St Maarten.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very sad but easy. We used princess transfer option which is bus ride to airport.
