We had a fantastic time overall and would definitely recommend this ship to anyone.

Review summary

We took this to get a break from the cold weather at home. The Caribbean was beautiful and overall FABULOUS with extremely minor exceptions that in no way distracted from the enjoyment. Shows aboard were great and food excellent.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pools are shallower than on previous cruises and the hot tubs are VERY small. Like child sized small.

Lotus Spa & Salon

5 out of 5

We had 3 couples massages , one on each sea day. Everyone was friendly, helpful and we received very good massages. Only snafu was with what services were supposed to be given. We had scheduled swedish online before the cruise but the staff convinced us to change to Hot Stone massage once on board. Their computer system wasn't changed to reflect this change and subsequently they gave us the incorrect service at first. The salon gave us a discount for their error.Also the times we had scheduled online had been changed, fortunately this didn't impact our enjoyment but it's something to note for the future.

Retreat Pool & whirlpools

4 out of 5

Pools are a little shallow but enjoyable but the hot tubs are extremely small. I'm 6'-7" and 300 so unless I was alone it was impossible to have water above my belly. This was quite disappointing.

WakeView Pool

5 out of 5

The adults only area is the best place for quiet enjoyment, even crowded the noise is at a low level.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
We stayed on the beach in a bungalow which for 4 of us was well worth it.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

We took 2 sailboat excursions on Castaway Girl 4. They were both fantastic and the 4 person crew excellent.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

4 out of 5
Took a taxi tour of both Dutch & French sides which we wouldn't ever do again. We did however rent beach chairs from the Jamaican Jerk where we had food and drinks that really made our day. Without finding the Jamaican Jerk we would've rated this island only 1 star.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Mass disorganization, crowded and aggravating.

Seems to be a lot of complaints on the pools. Looking forward to boarding in October.

Glad you enjoyed it and to see a good review. There have been some recent negative reviews. I’m not sure how a newer ship could be so disappointing to some.
