We chose this cruise for our 40th anniversary. We felt totally invisible to the crew and staff. Hard to imagine that so many staff can look without really seeing, There were exceptions and some good service but not the norm. Order a coke with lunch...never came. Order juice at breakfast...never came. Order a salad for dinner...get someone else's salad and have it wisked away after 5 minutes...oopps! hope you did not sneeze in it before we took it to the other table. The entertainment was mediocre except for the comedian. The dancing was very suggestive and cheap and a little embarrassing to watch with your wife. Watching soft porn? Could not understand the captain's announcements. The excursions were not really that great unless you were interested in looking at old sugar plantations endlessly. The islands are very full of litter. Unemployment is high and poverty is seen everywhere. We will choose another cruise route and itinerary next time. The weather was great. but good luck getting a chair on the pool deck as they could not possibly seat the hundreds of guests who wanted to be there. save a seat the first day and claim it for the whole cruise like everyone else or don't even try to get one later. they let people save the chairs all day even when they are not using them. on a good note...the ship decor is outstanding.
