This cruise was chosen by the group I was with. Terrible layout for the rooms - entry was in the middle of the bathroom. This made it awkward when ordering morning room service. Told it would be there in 30-45, hopped in shower and they showed up 10 minutes later. Also did not like the $7.95 delivery charge. Paid for the dining package which was a waste. The best meal was in the main dining room though the service was spotty. Went to Cagneys with a 7:30 seating, was not served my meal until 9:30. If I wasn't with a group I would have left. At the Italian resturant the service was also slow and when the entree arrives it was so salty I could not eat it. The next day in talking with the person at the other end of the table, her soup was so salty she could not eat it. Again we had a 7:30 dinner and the service was so slow that a table of 10 no one wanted to order desert as it was after 10 when dinner was complete.

Other than your room, there is no place to go for a quiet area that you don't have to pay extra for. We bought the unlimited wifi and had to consistently keep logging in. Sometimes 6-7 times in a 10 minute time period. Made it not worth the trouble. Paid extra for the dinner with the Circ show. The show was excellent but the food was inedible- disappointed for the $40 extra per person. Also did not like having to 'reserve' other shows in advance because the dining service was so slow, we missed the shows.

The only highlight was our cabin steward. Ian always was happy with a smile on his face.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Balcony

Cabin BB

Terrible layout. The only positive was that the beds were comfortable. Traveled with a friend and when the 'separate' beds were made there was only a 1/2 inch separation

Port Reviews

Tortola

Very nice and clean - new cruise port. Dock less than a year old

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

Easy to get on the ship

St. Thomas

Not enough time to take an excursion. Wondered the shops but they did not open until 10 and ship left at 1:30
