Review summary

I loved my cruise but with the hassle of trying to cruise and 3 cancellations prior don’t know if I’ll do it again. Overall the ship was beautiful, all crew were hard workers and so kind. But with all the phone calls and stress I went through to plan this, I don’t think I can do it again. Originally was suppose to go to 5/6 ports and that just did not work out.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Took a while to get on board but not too bad for how many people they had to deal with.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

MDR was pretty good but some of the food needs improvement. Not a fan of buffets which food at Windjammer marginal. Didn’t really eat there a lot. Never went to any specialty restaurants.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
Went on a Hop On, Hop Off-on our way home that we set up ourselves. Stopped in Little Havana before heading to the airport. Loved it.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

4 out of 5
No excursion, just hung out at the beach and swam. Didn’t care much for St Maarten but did have a beer at Caribbean Brewery Company with wonderful owners. Also had food at local restaurant which we enjoyed.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
Absolutely loved St Thomas. We did our own excursion by taking an Open air taxi to the top of Mountain Top, just beautiful. On the way down stopped at Maagens Bay beach were I snorkeled and saw some turtles 😃❤️ I would definitely go back to St Thomas.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We met some people aboard the ship that invited us to a private Cabana in the Coco Beach club that was outstanding. On our way there we first stopped at the Pool bar. Very nice. But the Cabana and everything included was fantastic. Food was way better than anything we had to eat on the ship. Service was phenomenal.

Disembarkation

Crazy with so many people getting off but did the best they could.

Do you mean cancelations due to COVID? Hopefully that's behind us now and it certainly wouldn't stop me from cruising again.
