Overall a great vacation. Fabulous ports with lots of different things to do. The majority of the ship's crew were excellent - by far better service than Carnival or Royal Caribbean. I went with my husband and another couple. We were on deck 14, inside cabin and it was big! I was anticipating a smaller room from what the reviews said, but the cabin was bigger than any other inside cabin I have been in on other ships. The ship is a bit chopped up, but I thought it was a good thing. You never know that the ship has thousands of people on it. And there are so many spots on the boat to choose from. The only complaints I could think of: the "band" performing when the ship was leaving port was not too good: sounded like karaoke. The boutique shop didn't have as many amenities as I would have liked. (like shampoo, razors, etc.)

For the price we paid, this was an awesome vacation. The weather was great, the ports awesome, and the crew unbelievable. Dinner was always good. The Crown Grill was excellent (but the service a little slow) The late night buffet was the secret I wish I had found earlier. Full of fresh fruit that you never saw at breakfast. And at the end of the cruise, there was a seafood buffet. My husband and I overdosed on crab legs before we went to second seating dinner. The dinner choices were also very nice. We went to traditional second seating dinner as well as the crown grill and the anytime dining room. All were nice, staff very attentive. The hotel charge every day (i think 10US/pp) was very reasonable and convenient. I didn't have to spend the last night of the cruise fishing my purse for small bills to put in the tiny tip envelopes.

If you are looking for something fun, a bit adventurous, then do this! The ports were not as commercialized (save for St. Maarten) and we saw some great sites. Read more
