The Bad : Ship shakes under sail and unbelievably worse in port, especially annoying when you are dining. Common areas good condition but we had hit and miss cabins this fall and winter, some ok and some awful condition. Ship staff said they can’t update the rooms without a dry dock and the company keeps putting that off. Personally had and witnessed some negative interactions with the Guest Services Staff. As typical of the brand no built in activies for active adults and children. Just off a Christmas cruise on another ship of the brand, many families cruising and the young people were bored out of their minds. Royal Caribbean, Carnival or Norwegian would have been a better choice for a family vacation.

The Good: The company has invested in Internet upgrades for this ship. Room and Dining staff generally excellent as is usual throughout the brand. Food quality and selection was on par with the brand and far superior to Royal Caribbean.

Port Reviews

St. Thomas

Princess’s pier is closer to the city than Royal Caribbean’s making walking to town a possibility for those without mobility impairment and by far more picturesque than the other pier.

St. Kitts (Port Zante)

Terrible port, tiny shopping area, avoid the vendors hawking pictures with you and their diapered monkies.
