Pros.

The ship is very clean and still looks like new.

The food was good. The buffet had plenty of great options and large enough to never be busy. Finding a table in the buffet was never an issue.

Port Reviews

Nassau

Walked over to the Queens Staircase, very beautiful. Other than Atlantis (overrated and overpriced), not much else to do at this stop. We docked with 5 other ships, tons of people. The town itself is very run down, just lots of bars to drink at all day if thats your thing.

Tortola

Not enough time on the island. Got off the boat as early as possible to catch a ferry over to Virgin Gorda for the baths. Felt very rushed due to the lack of time. Lots of people with the same plan, didn't get the great experience at the baths. Very beautiful but too many people, felt packed and rushed.

Miami

Embarkation and Disembarkation was simple. Very easy to get to and out of the port.

St. Thomas

Beautiful island, easy to get around via open air taxis. We did not take a ship excursion and rarely do because they are over priced. Got off the ship very early and headed straight to Megan's Bay. Beautiful beach, very empty in the morning, we were some of the only people there. Around noon it began to get packed. Left at the right time, took a taxi over to Tickles Bar and Grill to catch a water taxi over to Water Island Honeymoon Bay. Highly recommend. Great beach, completely empty with bar and food services, and even a floating bar in the water.
