Enjoyed the Eastern Caribbean stops at St. Tomas and Tortola (Virgin Islands). The last stop at their private island in the Bahamas was a bust, since some swells were enough for them to stop tender service and evacuate the island (not dock, and terribly designed man-made port for the tenders).

The boat is nice, and well maintained, although an odd layout - it feels a bit chopped up and there are no large public spaces. The main pool are in particular feel extremely crowded, and there is no separate adult pool.

Enjoyed the Freestyle Dinning options and the entertainment was good, with the Priscilla show being the best we've seen on any ship (highly entertaining)! Service at the restaurants was friendly but slow. Bar service was mostly very good.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin BE

The worst cabin ever! Cramped, short bed, and a horrible bathroom layout.

Port Reviews

St. Thomas

Trunk Bay Beach is beautiful!

Great Stirrup Cay

Looks like it's under construction, and had to leave about an hour after getting there because the rough seas prevent the tenders from accessing their ridiculously designed port.
