We chose this cruise because we were looking for a 9 day or longer cruise and it had some sea days. We liked the fact it had a sea day and the beginning and 2 at the end of the cruise. The ship is fantastic, more than I expected. The Piazza was one of our favorite spots to lounge around, this is the center of the ship and extends up 3 floors and is the heart of much of all that is going on. The musical intertainment was great with different groups playing at different times and all types of music and dancing. We wanted a relaxing cruise and being a large ship we wondered if quiet spots to just relax would be available. We had no problem finding quiet areas. We were surprised that even with a lot of people on board we never had problems finding a place to stop and sit or have a drink. Only one night in the Princess theater that we found it filled, but we showed up last minute ,(should be there 30 minutes early).

We had a Aft balcony cabin and loved it and was close to rear elevator. It was a walk to the other end of ship, but was ok with us, but might be a problem for others. We also used the laundry mat once and that was convienent just up hall from us. We ate 70% of time in MD and of 14 cruises we been on the food and service is one of the best ever. No problems with service and food preparation as we like to try different things and loved it all. We had Anytime dinning. We did have to wait for seating if we went prime time 7pm or so. They gave us pagers and never waited more than 15 minutes. You could easily wait in one of bars or Piazza close by and was no problem. If you wanted to share a table you would get seated quicker, we always asked for a table for 2. The evening entertainment was good to great, we enjoyed all of them. The movies under the Stars is a neat way to spend evenings on deck with popcorn and a blanket and a good movie. One the this ship they had a great list of movies some first run and older ones to choose from. We ate at the Crown Grill and was not disappointed worth the extra money. Of course the pizza on board is great and out on deck at the trident Grill with fresh grilled hamburgers and dogs and fries just fantastic. And of course the soft serve ice cream on deck. The Horizion buffet was great and large and never had problems finding a place to sit. Lots to choose from and good. Always had plenty of wait staff at the buffet for water or etc, The pools and hot tubs were all good but the pool up by the sanctuary was adults only and we liked it the best.

Our first stop Princess Cays was very nice, we reserved a clam cover loungers and that was nice beautiful beach and very relaxing. Stopped at Dominica saw the beautiful water falls and Grenada and had ship excursions for both and saw a lot. St Thomas is always beautiful and Megans Bay, We took the tram up to Paradise point and always love the view from there, also toured the island. Bonita is a beautiful Island and for divers and snorkeling is wonderful. We took a off road 4x4 tour and had a great time seeing the salt minning and out in the country and beautiful coastline. Curacao was our favorite stop. Was very surprised by the greenery of the island and beauty. We took a bus tour of island and saw astounding coast line and beaches, pink flamingos . Had a wonderful tour guide and very modern vehicles, buses etc. Curacao is a very clean ready for tourist stop, lots has been done all the way from pier to in town. A very modern island stop and very friendly. And I said in beginning the last 2 days are sea days and we love them and finish enjoying the ship and end of the cruise. Disembarkment was not as rushed as some ships we been on we were off at 10 am. When on way home and can't find anything that really wrong with our cruise, We are a very satisfied couple.
