Nice, overpriced for what I hear you get on other cruise lines. Bartenders great. Freestyle dining staff felt to me like they would rather be somewhere else. Getting on and off the boat was as smooth as could be. My vacation started as soon as I got to the port, bravo. Shops started to run out of product as soon as the rain started. Ketel one vodka was 2 for 37 dollars. There was one bottle left and I asked if I could purchase it for 19 dollars, the girl from the jewelry dept. was assisting me and asked the gentleman behind the register. Without even looking up, his answer was no. The girl said to me I'am very sir and and walked away. I still spent 350.00 in the store and my wife told me I should not have. Next time I will purchase liquor on the Island. Overall Great, but next cruise I will try another cruise line if only to compare the difference.

Nothing but spectacular. Alek, our host was the best part of our first cruise. We didn,t ask for much but he went out of his way to make us happy. The night we went to take our picture with the Captain, we called for an iron to iron our clothes. We were told there was quite a wait, within five minutes we had an iron. I would like to coerce him to come and work for me. Employees like Alek are difficult to find.
