In spite of all the negative reviews before going on our cruise, I went with an open mind. Had no trouble getting on the ship, went to O'Sheenan's for lunch-which was just ok. Ship was clean, crew friendly, no problem getting a drink unless you were at Topsider's. We had great service from the Gatsby's bar crew. Our cc group met the captain and officers and had a very nice meet and greet. We had better service in the Aqua dining room from Coney than we had at Versailles (& men can wear shorts in Aqua!) We did excursions on every island and the best was a Jolly Roger and the other was the 3 reef snorkel by boat-both were excellent excursions. My only complaint was my room. We had an aft balcony, deck 8 and all we got was the engine noise, back splash from the engines-so no deck sitting on sea days, and a lot off noice from the Spinnaker Lounge during the hours of 10 pm till2 am. Complained, but it went in one ear and out of the other.

I did not find any of the problems other people wrote about. I had a great time, made a lot of new friends and enjoyed my time on the ship.

There were times when it was hard to get a drink due to not enough bartenders/servers for the amount of people wanting a drink, especially with the beverage package.

cabin was very clean. room steward was excellent. only problem is the noise from the Spinnaker Lounge every night. would not do this room again EVER-not worth the money and loss of sleep.

Port Reviews

Roatan

this was an awesome excursion! The guys took pictures while everyone was snorkeling and then asked for our email addresses to send to us. The crew was very friendly and attentive. Recommend very highly!

Tampa

We arrived a day early for the cruise and stayed at the Courtyard Tampa West Shore Airport. It had a pool and a starbucks as well as a café. We were within walking distance of serveral restaurants. The place was clean and the employees went out of their way to accommodate you. I would stay here again.
