Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Wonderful

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
A lot of activities were curtailed due to the rough seas. Hiro was phenomenal. We walked the track a lot. There were lots of activities like dealing with baldness and improving your posture. Ugh.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Flight was weird, history of flight but with songs from Bruno Mars. Hiro was exceptional.

Children's Programs

No kids?

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service was excellent, but they seemed to have an insatiable need to be reassured that you were having a good time. They all get rated and they were very concerned that you gave them good ratings on the exit email. Made us very uncomfortable.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was fine. Great ability to store all our belongings. Glad we upgraded to a balcony, oceanside.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida Did not visit port

Flew in the night before and out the day we left the ship.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
We did a jeep excusion booked thru BJ's and it was wonderful as was our guide.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
We did a tour booked thru BJ's with a tour guide who was wonderful and we saw lots of the island. Really enjoyed it.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

3 out of 5
We didn't realize that we weren't going onto the Bahamas, but the private island. We wanted to go into Nassau. Very diappointed, but should have figured it out. Our fault.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Much quicker than we had been warned it would be.
