I choose this cruise because of the ports of call that were being visited. The Carribiean was beautiful all the port excursions were great except in St. Marteen - make sure not do do the Trolley Train ride. I would also suggest not going on while school is out unless you plan to bring your own children then you likely won't mind. The ship staff is a lot of fun and very friendly. The staff all appeared to be excited about their jobs and about the services they were providing to you. I participated in several trivia's which may sound lame but was actually fun my friends and I won twice and enjoyed our prize. The best game is Quest this is a must do event I can only say it is not for the kids and should defiantly be done if you have an open mind and are a fun person. There were comedians from Vegas who were also great.
