We arrived at port at 11:30am, everything went smoothly and quickly. We were on the boat eating in the dining room by 12:20pm. Right after we were done eating we headed to our room which was ready and decorated with the Birthday package we got for our son for a belated Birthday gift. It was not as large as Carnival rooms but it was workable for 2 adults and a preteen. After we got settled we headed to the kids camp to get my son signed up. We waited in a very long line to be told they were closing early to get ready for the drill to come back later. This was or 1st sign of how things were going to be with the kids camp, every time we went they were very unorganized, you would stand in one line for them to tell you to go to another or they would not be were they said they were going to be. My son normally loves going to the kid camps on carnival, couldn't wait to go and never wanted us to pick him up early. On this one he didn't like it, the things they said they were going to do either they didn't do or waited until last min to do them. So this was a big downside for us because this was suppose to be a highlight for my son on his vacation.

Ok back to the good, the food was great at each dining room and the buffet. We did one special dining at Moderno, it was ok but we are use to Texas de Brazil. There were always chairs available on the pool deck, but during the BarBQ you would need to get there a little earlier if you wanted a table to eat outside. Ok know back to a little more bad, we got the UBP for the hubby and I but if you ordered anything other then what was on the menu at that bar it wont happening. I had the list of drinks from what folks on here had posted of the menus and the items needed to make it and it was mostly a no when asked to mix a drink other then the basics (Capt and Pepsi) or their current menu. The best drinks were a Japanese Martin and the Rum Cake Martin, but I like sweet drinks :)

The ship was in pretty good shape, little out dated but they will soon be fixing that. We didn't take in any of the shows but did watch some of the game shows, they were good. We did our on thing at each port. At PR we took the free trolley to the forts and to shop and eat. There is a CVS right up from the port across the street if anyone is in need of items. We took pictures with the bird man with all his parrots, let me for warn that he takes 30 pics, which we thought was only going to be 1, and he puts all the birds on you which are very heavy, especially for a small frame 11 year old child, but hey he smiled through the pain and we got a pic and a memory out of it ;) St Thomas we took a van/cab $8 per person to Coki Beach and did snorkeling which was amazing, these fish come right up to you and eat out of your hand (they sell dog biscuits to feed them) make sure to bring a water camera, we had our on snorkel stuff but you can rent it. 2 chairs and a umbrella was $20, they have people there to serve food and drinks for a fee. St Maarten took a van/cab over to shop, please take the ferry over, because we went to save a few bucks with the cab and got over there fine but when you want to come back it is a fight to get one of them to take you back after you have already paid for round trip. Tortola didn't have much time there so we just tendered over and walked to the shops, it was just a couple of blocks so no need to pay a cab. We had a sick passenger that we turned the boat around for so The US Coast Guard could pick him up by helicopter and take him to PR to the hospital, so we watched the helicopter from our balcony which was amazing to watch them keep up with the ship while being able to help this person off. I hope the gentleman who was airlifted is ok. Read more
