I chose this ship because of the variety of activities available for my family, for the price and the dates available.

I found the ship to be excellent with lots of fun stuff to do throughout the day and night. The staff was very friendly and everywhere there was supreme cleanliness. The variety of restaurants to pick from included with the fare was good. There were two fancy restaurants one of which was very nice, The Solarium Bistro, the other one called the Silk was very nice and fancy but the food was very poor. My one complain was about the shore excursions.

The dolphin encounter in Anguila was not worth the money, almost $200.00 per person. The ride to the location took 50 minutes each way cutting almost two hours of travel. The description said that one could swim with the dolphins but this was not really the case. Once in the dolphin pool which lasts only about 45 min, you only have an opportunity to touch the dolphin and "kiss" it, then the dolphin pushes you for about 30 feet in the water while you hold on to a boogie board. The dolphin then flips over and lets you hold on to him for a 30 foot "swim". So basically you spend a total time of 10 min. of individual time with the dolphin. The rest of the time you are watching the other participants do the same steps. The location of the encounter was not pretty, the beach was also not really a beach but rather a bay with a lot of seaweed, the water murky. Read more
