We had always wanted to do the Caribbean so we went for this one and this was also our 4 cruise but biggest ship as we had travelled with PO,MSC twice .Stayed in NY for one night then got a transfer to the port,10 mins.The ship was impressive on arrival and huge standing next to it !!.From arrival at check-in to getting onboard was about 30 mins, which with the amount of people there, I thought was excellent.

Once onboard we had a walk about to check everything out and then got our cabin which was a Balcony mid-ship ,plenty of room ,bright and the cabin steward was very attentive and pleasant.The restaurants ,activities ,entertainment on the ship were very professional compared to what we had seen previously .Speciality restaurants, which we got in the package,4 of,were fantastic,especially Teppanyaki but Cagney's ,La Cucina and Moderno all very good!! .Main dining also great, food and service excellent .

The shows in the main theatre were second to none and the comedian,Kevin Jordan ,you have to see at late night show !! .On deck at the pool side, again the entertainment was very good through the day .We had good craic with 'JESUS' from Columbia and his service was exceptional,wee tip ,look after the staff and they will look after you!!.Did an excursion on a catamaran in St Marteen ,worth the money and had a ball just remember the suncream.All in all this cruise was by far the best and can't wait to go back .Go with an open mind and try not to listen to the negative comments .You will always get people moaning about anything,its a certain country,s ways I suppose !! .Enjoy !!! .PS Thank-you to all our friends we met from Canada-USA-Finland-UK-NI-Dublin.
