Embarking and disembarking was very smooth. The main dining room food was okay, but the best food is in the specialty restaurants. Especially the Crown Grille.
The entertainment is excellent for first time cruisers however for seasoned cruisers it's old hat. The same comedians come on each season with the same skits.
The staff is very pleasant however Lisa the The Cruise Director is absolutely the best. She makes the cruise so pleasurable with her 24/7 involvement in all activities around the ship.
Our suite cabin was in the front of the ship. It was very spacious with two rooms. The main large bedroom and the TV sitting room with a couch and chairs and desk with a balcony. It's a treat to occupy these accommodations, with a large bathroom, enclosed shower and separate bathtub and dressing area.
St Maarten has something for everyone. Great beaches and shopping with a variety of restaurants. My favorite is The Greenhouse restaurant.
