My cruise was from 1/17 - 1/24. We flew in 2 days earlier and stayed at the Doubletree Hotel. The room was clean, modern and had all that we needed. Pool area was great with lots of seating. Bar staff very friendly and room attendant right on the mark when I asked for extras. We arrived at the ship around 12:30 and were inside within minutes. Extremely well organized. Had lunch at the Windjammer and there was plenty of room for everyone. Our room was ready about 3:00 and was spotlessly clean. We had a superior balcony with two chairs and a small table. Just what we needed for our morning coffee everyday. We found the ship always clean and smelling fresh. Our room was attended to twice a day with clean towels and fresh ice. We ate all but one night in the dining room. The staff was great, menu varied, drinks not too expensive and food better than other cruises weve been on. We visited 5 ports Barbados, St Lucia, Antigua, St Maarten and St Croix. We did excursions that I booked online. They were all very good and we got to see just what we wanted at each island. Some islands we thought we'd love to stay for a week or two next vacation. We always found a chaise near the pool. We mostly opted for the adult pool which was usually quieter than the bigger pool. There were very few children on this cruise and we noticed a large amount of seniors. We went to 5 shows one of them being the ice show. All were great and not too long. The casino and shops were so so. I did all of my shopping in port. The bars were nice and never crowded for an after dinner drink. I didnt think the drink prices were too bad. All the other passengers were all very nice and we never encountered anyone rude. Others in previous reviews were complaining about certain people. We actually didnt see many at all on this cruise. All in all it was a wonderful cruise and I would do it all again in a second. I have nothing but high praises. We traveled with another couple who also love this cruise and their on board experiences..
