Sail Date: Jan 2018
Cabin: Large Ocean View Stateroom

We selected this cruise because it had a low cost being booked in just weeks before sailing, the itinerary with ports nearly everyday looked interesting, and it began and ended in San Juan where we live. The ports did not disappoint although many places in St Croix and St Maarten/St Martin were closed due to severe hurricane damage (don’t let that keep you from going as there is still plenty to see, the resilience of the people is inspirational, and the money spent by cruise travelers helps the islands recover.)

We did not visit any of the specialty restaurants. The main dining room dinners were good but not great and the menu of eight or so items changes only one or two items a day. The evening shows were good. Art auctions were informative.

We made many friends on this cruise. The staff was very nice and helpful at all times.

Cabin Review

Large Ocean View Stateroom

Cabin G

The cabin is in a great location. Located conveniently close to the Centrum elevators so access to all the ship is easy. The cabin is quiet. Very little aisleway traffic. Though it’s located just above the exit gangway, there is no noise from that activity. If I were booking this category of cabin again, I’d choose this cabin.
