Pinnacle Grill was excellent, as always. The rest of the food was good, but nothing great.

Fitness center well stocked. Pools ok. Pickleball good.

Cabin / Stateroom

No issues there either. 'Obstructed' view was barely obstructed, so that was nice.

Ship tip

Royal Dutch Cafe. Everything is better from there :)

Ports of call

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

City beach isn't bad at all. $20-30 for chairs and an umbrella for the entire day. (Stay toward the port side of the beach)

Castries, St. Lucia
