Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Our MDR waiters ( Dacian & Dorel) made each night joyful. They interacted with us, (we were a party of 7) Both had great people skills, they had our drinks ready up on arrival. We had early dining which mean, we had to eat and get out so they could prepare for the next set. We always over stayed but not intentional. However, we never felt rushed nor did they show hurry up. Fantastic! Wonderland Restaurant was one fantastic experience. The food presentation was amazing loved it!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The only activity I participated was at the spa for a nail polish change.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Hair, Huro, 1977 Each show was Broadway quality. The musicians played a mixture of music. Each sound had your head bobbing, foot tapping and moving and grooving in your seat loved it

Service and Staff

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The layout was similar to the Allure which I was on in April 2022. That helped me get around the ship easy. Especially, finding my cabin. The ship was white glove clean

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had an inside balcony over looking the Boardwalk loved it! People was telling me I wouldn't like it because of the noise. I only heard noise during the day and that was only because I went back to the room for something. At sleepy time for me or hubby, we didn't hear any noise once the balcony door was closed

Ship tip

If you are in the age range of 60+ Ask for the daily compass. The App suck! Maybe it's the operator

Ports of call

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

3 out of 5
You must take a tour, Nothing to do at the port excerpt to shop. We took a "circle the island" tour which I had taken before. I only went because some of my party had not been to this port. Most tours are beaches. I'm not a beach person. Next time, I'll stay on the ship.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

here again I've been there, done that. We took a cab downtown, jewelry store after jewelry store. However, I loved the cologne prices.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

For a beach person, it's wonderful For a non-beach person an hour or two will do it. The food was very good. A good food selection.
