Never wanted to go on a cruise had pre notion of it and wanted no part…….thanks to our best friends we went and had a BLAST!! Tyler the cruise director was amazing, Michael Vejar is the best employee on the boat!! We brought our kids and it was great for them…..liked the freestyle cruising, getting on was not a problem, getting off is crowded but whatever….biggest disappointment was Atlantis, five other ships came in that day and was toooooo crowded, ended up leaving early, no fun at all. The baths at tortola were okay, this is a fairly new excursion so the locals are still a bit on the "rude" side at times, but repeating "don't wash your feet off in the pool" gets old I am sure. Hands down the best excursion was the Stars and Stripes Boat and snorkel ride….the crew were amazing!! Loved it and they were amazing to our kids, word of advice spread out a bit, it's a big ocean and yet people still were on top of each other.
The shows on the boat are okay, the only ones worth going to are the dueling piano bar and the how to drink wine show….the rest were just so-so. Everything was clean, and everyone was so attentive. Savor isn't very good, and the buffet is annoying and kind of like a cattle call at times, but the hours are good and for the quantity they have to cook for, good job.
The pools are small and there's not enough space, but whatever, there are other things to do, a lot more. Do the stupid things, be involved, that's what makes it fun. My husband won a blackjack tournament while there and had the best time!! Our suite had plenty of space and the bathroom was awesome!!
Our steward was amazing!! took great care of us, tip them, even if you do the prepaid that doesn't go far with a lot of employees
we came in the night before and stayed at the hotel, no issues at all getting on board the next day
