The best parts of this cruise was the Ft. Lauderdale port ease of access, the comfort of their beds, their countless trivias ( and I mean this was one of best sources of entertainment), and a general friendliness of the cruise director staff. Other than that, it was pretty disappointing.

We chose traditional dining, because we wanted that bond with our wait staff. From the first dinner, we realized that wasn't going to happen. Our waiter barely unacknowledged us. Only briefly as we sat down and ordered, then again quickly as he took our desert order. Other than that, the only time he was at our table was to pick up or deliver dishes.. not drinks btw, those were few and far between. Now I heard, if you want good foid and service, visit one of their many "pay to eat" restaurants. Which is ridiculous for the price you pay for the cruise. Oh and btw... the buffet is the same, if not better at your local Golden Corral.

Entertainment was a joke! Which is ironic, since the only shows they offered were 4 different comedians. I guess they hoped at least one would be funny. There was a rock n roll show that was ok. They had karaoke most nights, and a show called voice of the ocean. Along with a couple 45 min game style shows. Which is pathetic for a 10 day cruise. Leaves a lot of time doing nothing.

Cabin OZ

Cabin was good size but the bathroom was extremely small. Especially the shower.

Antigua

What a beautiful beach day, food is very expensive at the beach though

St. Kitts (Port Zante)

Beach was nice. There were locals that pushed massages on you for quite a fee. Food at the bar was very expensive
