We had an amazing time on IOS Eastern Caribbean cruise. It exceeded all our expectations and we were so impressed with the ship. 2 families travelling together and we could not have asked for more. We were amazed at the food and service and helps if you make an effort with the staff. Boarding took 2 hours with computer problems but all was good. St Maarten we hired a car and toured the island. St Kitts we did catamaran tour. Puerto Rico we walked around town. I felt Labadee was too busy with 2 ships in port but was a lovely location and bbq on the beach. Our cabin 6298 was on deck 6 and was a great location on the ship. Having a balcony was great but not sure if I would bother next time. We enjoyed all the shows and thought they were great quality and value. First time cruisers and we thought it was fantastic. The 3 kids 7,10,10 loved it and were never bored. We did my time dining and that worked well. We didn't bother with the drinks package and that worked out well. We took on 2 bottles of wine per cabin and they were happy to open it at dinner no charge. The kids didn't use kids club much but it didn't matter. We all agreed it was great value for $ and are already talking about another cruise to a different location.
