OVERALL: Pretty much what many had written. Embarkation and debarkation fast and efficient.

ENTERTAINMENT: Smaller ship, needs better entertainment shows. While we attended many shows both in Coral theatre and Centrum it was never something that we had or really wanted to see like on the bigger ships with Broadway shows like Rock of Ages or Aqua theatre. Sail away parties are not much especially embarkation port. Disney cruise line does this very well. Captain did take extra time in St Lucia upon leaving to go close to Pitons and do a 360 circle with the ship so that everyone could see and then sailed off to next port.

RENOVATIONS: are good and the ship is very well maintained for cleanliness.

Cabin Review

Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin D1

STATEROOMS: Stateroom attendant was good and always friendly. Ship speaker in room does not work even though there is a volume switch (our stateroom 9200) so you can't hear any ship announcements.

Pre cruise stay at Caribe Hilton. Nice but extremely expensive for breakfast in hotel main restaurant. US$50 for my 12 year old son and I. Won't do that again.
