Ok so it was my fiance and my first cruise experience. The boat was really big and it was nice to have the central boardwalks. The food was ok. Portions were small at the formal dining. The buffet was better but none of food was impressive except for the restaurants that you had to pay extra for. Seems like they did that on purpose.
My biggest irritation on the cruise was having to listen to a infomercial lady telling my about a seminar on shopping left on my Stateroom phone.I had to listen to the 15 minute message before I could delete it.The last thing I want to do with my time on vacation is listen to a advertising pitch.
I did check out the diamonds at st marteen. Diamonds international wanted 3500 for a pair of low grade si2 and si3 diamonds.I can get nicer stones vs grade in the states for 1500. They are trying to rip you off and the cruise line is in on it.
The boardwalk is noisy, didn't. Use it much at all.beds were comfortable and I liked the bathroom layout
