Review summary

Train the staff to strategize cleaning the tables. Germs are spread if you wipe the table then The seat (where people sit and even put their feet on) then wipe the table again or another table with the same cloth. Maybe use biodegradable disposable cloths so that the table can be wiped then the seat and the cloth tossed after with a new one used for a different table. There was no hand soap in the bathroom, which is pretty strange. Doesn’t need to be a bar soap as that is not sanitary but maybe a soap dispenser? Servers/waiters should also tend to those sailors hanging on deck 16 at the Athletic club/pool area.

Embarkation

No lines, friendly and professional crew members

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Pink Agave needs more Mexican cuisine and sides Razzle Dazzle, get rid of the chicken and biscuit especially when there’s lambs and other fine delicacies there. It’s doesn’t go and we can get that anywhere 😀 Burger station at the galley could also served chicken sandwiches or wraps. Drinks could use a tad bit more alcohol, but I get it as the idea is not to have belligerent people but an alcoholic beverage should have a decent taste of alcohol. Pizza Place, excellent pizza. Lick me till ice cream, could use more variety and improvement on the caramel and cookies and cream flavors. All other drinks, food and taste was great.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was friendly, professional, and took pride in their tasks. Felt welcomed the entire time.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
As a neat-freak with an obsession with cleanliness, the ship was on point. Loved seeing crew members cleaning little things like the baseboards, high-touch areas like walls an area most won’t think to clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was spacious, designed well to maximize the space properly. As it was a smaller cabin, the sink was a bit smaller than I’d like (believe it was bigger on the brilliant lady, my original ship for my voyage), along with the bathroom space, which was a bit cramped and I felt a bit claustrophobic.

Ship tip

Bring a small fan for the night as it get a bit warm when everyone is in their cabin. Prepare to Harley you shower when you return home…water pressure and temp was SUPERB. Truly dress as fancy or a laid back as you want. Unlikely to feel left out.

Port itself was very lackluster but I heard the island itself/beaches are beautiful.

Bridgetown, Barbados

Castries, St. Lucia

5 out of 5
Beautiful island but couldn’t experience it much with it raining all day. But definitely and must stop port.

St. John's, Antigua

5 out of 5
What a way to end the island hopping. Best day! Great food and beaches

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth, straightforward, organized, orderly. Maybe Virgin could invest in shuttle service? Quite difficult trying to arrange transportation with a language barrier.
