We chose this ship because of all the positive reviews and what ports it went to. We went down to Florida the day before our cruise left port. We stayed overnight at an area hotel. We were able to go aboard the ship at 12:30 pm. We went exploring the ship, as there is so much to see. Then we went to the Windjammer Cafe to get something to eat. It is a wonderful dining area with buffet style service. The assortment of food is amazing. St Thomas was great for shopping. St Maarten is our new favorite place to visit. The white sand beaches were wonderful and relaxing. Very friendly ship staff and outstanding food. Our room was great. There was always something to do on the ship. The shows were fabulous. We went on this cruise with our daughter instead of doing a high school graduation party. Now she has wonderful memories to last a lifetime~! Embarking and disembarking the ship went smoothly, no problems. We would go again in a heartbeat~!!
Our cabin was a handicapped room. It was very spacious and had a fridge. Our cabin steward was very attentive and friendly.
We decided not to take a shore excursion. We stayed on the ship and took part in the activities and did some sunbathing. It was a very beautiful port.
St. Thomas is very beautiful. The taxi service to the shopping area was very easy to get to and was very efficient. We had no problems in spending the day shopping and then returned to the ship with time to spare before departure.
St Maarten is our new favorite place to visit. It is so relaxing to stroll down by the beach and have a drink by the water With the white sand beaches, you can help but want to take a dip and stroll along the waters edge. The shopping was great as well. we had plenty of time to enjoy our day at St Maarten. We would love to go back and visit there again~!
