We really liked the two days at sea before and after visiting the A-B-C islands and loved the Dutch influence on these islands, as well as the wonderful coral reefs and tropical fish.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We loved the relaxed dining room options, while also the Lido for such a variety of options. The food was wonderful and the crew was so friendly and helpful.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
We bought the thermal spa package and enjoyed melting into relaxation there. We enjoyed the peace and quiet on the Explorations Cafe on Deck 12 - time to sit, relax, sip coffee and read a book. We enjoyed the educational opportunities presented. The Main Stage brought amazing dancers along with projections that were amazing.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
The dancers were absolutely wonderful. We do miss the singing/dancing productions. The steel drum group was totally amazing and very entertaining. The mentalist was ok. The comedian was ok.

Ship tip
The saunas are free. You do not have to buy the thermal suite package to use them.
They need to improve this a lot. There was no staff present to guide or help. My wife's back went out that morning, and we had to struggle with our luggage -- and no one around to help, with very long lines that hurt her back even more....and some rude people whose goal was to rush off as fast as possible but complained about the lines.
