We chose this cruise because of the length of the trip, the reviews from our travel agent and time schedule. The embarkation process was smooth, the fact that we arrived 3 hours after the initial process help a lot. The ship schedule accuracy is pristine, they dont play around, they say they leave 4:30pm and they do. Theres a lot of places to eat around, free and paid. The ship was really clean. The service received from our steward was excellent, a very friendly man from Bali, Mr Gusti.
With that been said, lets start with the not so good part. The Cabin was hot most of the time, the first 5 - 6 Nights were unbearable and i mean sweat at 2:00am. We barely slept because of the heat. We called guest services a couple times, they sent a technician that told us about a damper and power surges and the fact the vent was open to %75 because of that. In the end he did something everytime, but the temp was not even close to cold or fresh. The cabin bathroom didnt want to flush for a couple of times, the worst event was the last night, stood like that for 2 hours.
We felt discriminated at times, because of the table expenditure. The moment they realized we were not much of a fan of alcohol or expensive beverages, the service went from 10 to 0. One night we were accomodated on one side of o'sheehan's, the side where there was no one else because of the need of a low table for my son in a wheelchair, that night we saw the waiter like 2 times...the rest of the service i had to either call for them or stand up . Only at the specialty restaurants we felt welcome from start to end.
The steward service was flawless. the Cabin temperature was really hot all the trip. The bathroom stop working for moments.
Always excellent place to visit, we shop around, watch star wars on one of their theaters and of course the Dutch gouda cheese always cheap and nice here.
Another place its always nice to visit, we shop a lot around specially for cheese, the Dutch Cheesery is excellent, lots of aged cheese.
This is our first time here, the water close to one of the port shopping site is just surreal. Have to tell its really expensive, paid like $30 for 3 cokes and 2 pizza pieces. The place is beautiful.
Good for shopping, cigars, souvenirs, and like they dubbed the island "Spice Isle".
Another beautiful Island, they dont use corn syrup on their coke cola, they put plain sugar which taste way better in my opinion.
Complicated port, the port stores people are kind of rude. My wife broke a piece of ceramic on one of the stores trying to move around my son wheelchair, we are aware of the fact that if you broke it, you have to pay for it and we did with pleasure. The problem is that the customer representative was like mad at us, like we refused to pay or something, which we didnt.
Another place to shop around, more sugar coke cola. The currency is Eastern Caribbean Dollar.
