| Ship Quality | The ship was large and well laid out. It was easy to navigate, with the exeception of decks two and three, which were blocked in the middle and required going up to deck five to pass from the fore to aft sections. Public areads were very clean and in good condition. | |
| Food and Dining | Overall quality of food was good, but options were limited. The main restaurant menu had a small number of offerings, as did the buffet. There was one alternative dining restaurant, Portofino, which offered high quality Italian food for $20. Johnny Rockets offered good burgers and fries for $3.95 and drinks were charged separately. Cafe Promenade offered a nice selection of sandwiches, fresh baked cookies, pastries and pizza. Lemonade, iced tea, milk, coffee and tea were complementary at all meals. | |
| Cabin / Stateroom | Cabin sizes were satisfactory and above average in size. Windows were large and the cabins well decorated. Beds were comfortable and the cabin and bathroom provided adequate storage space. Bathrooms were small but the shower with a circular enclosure was a nice touch. | |
| Service and Staff | The international staff were friendly and tried hard to exceed customer expectations. The captain and very talented cruise director provided an outstanding experience. | |
| Entertainment | The variety of options was outstanding. Although the ice rink, rock climbing wall and in-line skating had limited hours, we had no problem gaining access. The two shows provided by the ship's singers and dancers were amateurish, but the three headliners were outstanding. Although the ship was fully booked with 3600 passengers, we had no problem finding seats in the theater. | |
| Children's Programs | The programs for children up to 11 were good, but activities for teens and pre-teens were limited. Staff were friendly and well trained. |

| Nassau, Bahamas | As we only had a half day in port, we just walked around the downtown area and shopped. Vendors are quite aggressive. |

| Labadee (Cruiseline Private Island) |
The beaches were beautiful. Beach attendants were aggressive but chairs easy to arrange. The barbeque lunch was acceptable, but choices limited. The flea market provided nice crafts, if you don't mind bargaining with the vendors.

| San Juan, Puerto Rico |
Old San Juan is within walking distance and quite interesting. The fortress El Morro was worth visiting. We were only in port a half day, but would have liked to visit the rain forest if we had more time.

| Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas |
Shopping was outstanding. As the weather was rainy, we did not tour the island.
