This is as good as it gets. An amazing ship, amazing staff, fantastic itinerary, wonderful guests. Plus look out for our next, (complete contrast), review as we were on the ship for 2 weeks.
It's hard to know where to start. A truly stunning week. We arrived in St Maarten from the UK on Friday and boarded on Saturday. Our cabin was lovely. Boarding was fairly seamless. We started to feel our way around. Checked out the restaurants, gym etc. Had a beer by the pool bar looking forward to setting sail that evening. We ate at the fish restaurant the first night. It was good but not as good as the main restaurant which we loved. We thought the main restaurant was really special.
Leaving St Maarten was dramatic. We soon learned that every night we set sail they play the tune used in Hunt For Red October, (Hymn to the red army), as the sails unwind. All about the experience.
A bit of valuable homework before we went uncovered the fact that there's a handful of B cabins on deck 3 in between the suites. Before we booked I made a specific request for one and got one. The location of it was great. Right at the back of the ship with 1 flight of stairs through a rear door to the pool area (where we spent a lot of time). Lovely big bed, great storage options, nice bathroom, very tastefully decorated and well kept by the staff on board.
