We arrived on July 5th and the weather was great. Getting on the ship was short and quick. No complaints. We arrived around 1 pm. We dropped off our things in the room and then went to the windjammer for lunch. The variety was great. They do pretty much serve the same things everyday with a little variety on the meats. Food and service was good. Waiters were always friendly and had lots of smiles. Pools were great. There were chair hogs around the pools but there was always chairs available on the upper decks. Chairs in the shade went early. If you would like to sit and relax with little noise go to Deck 4 and they have smoking on one side and non smoking on the other side. Very relaxing out there. Dinner in the Main dining room was good. Not great. Well actually sometimes the food was great. Portions we felt were small but you could order as much as you want. If you want to try more than 1 appetizer or entree's or desserts you could. Just ask! Entertainment was good especially the games shows they had. Don't miss the "Quest show"! A lot of fun. Our room was very nice and bed was so comfortable. Forget the over the door holder if there is only 2 of you. Plenty of space to put things. The outlet in the bathroom you will net a converter for. It says for shavers only but it was on a regular outlet. There is 2 regular outlets on the desk. I took a power strip and it was very handy. The room attendant was very nice. Her name was Gizelle. San Juan I could have done without. St Maarten was good. We did a tour with Bernard. Definitely recommend him. We walked through the Nudist Beach very interesting. No camera's! You don't want to miss Maho Beach next to the airport. Shopping- lot and lots of Jewelry stores. The other stores were plentiful also. Labadee - This was fantastic!!!!!!!!!! Food was so so! The vendors on this island are very pushy but you just have to tell them you are just looking and keep walking. Just keep walking and they will leave you alone. Always talk them down in price. If price is too high start to walk away and they will call you back and you will probably get your price. Cruise director James was very good and entertaining as well as his staff. I did not care for the Ice show and but that's because I'm not in to that kind of shows, but my sister loved it. Overall rating for this ship was Fantastic. So much to do and not enough time. Pick what you want to do and enjoy it. If you get hungary late at night go to deck 5 and hit the Cafe Promenade. Open 24 hours for food and snacks. We really enjoyed ourselves and I hope you do to.
