	Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 18 - 29 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Great time in Carribean! by A Traveler from Bellingham, WA Sailing date: May 2008 Pros: Every day in different port! Cons: Room service We had a good time on our cruise. Paying a little extra for the balcony for very worth it, it was so relaxing to sit down on the balcony and enjoy the view. What we liked the most was that we spent every day in a different port. We did a different activity every day. Shore excursions can be pre-booked online or when you get to the ship. Snorkeling with turtles, kayaking, river tubing, and every other excursion was excellent. Night shows on the ship were excellent, they have their own amazing dancing & singing team as well as visiting comedians that were hilarious. Ship Details: Ship Quality Ship was very large and even though you could feel it moving most of the time, it was minimal and I never slept so good as I did on the ship. The decor is very modern and rooms are small but comfortable and clean. Housekeeping did an excellent job on keeping the ship and rooms clean. We ran out of hot water one morning but it was fixed within 5 minutes when we reported the problem. Dining/Food Formal dining room food was delicious and waiting staff did a great job. However, we were a little dissapointed with room service options, which offered mostly sandwiches but not dining room options. They also had a Sun deck as another alternative to formal dining, offering BBQ/Chinese food/Light breakfast, which was okay. We bought expensive Fountain Drink cards which were a waste since they were free drinks on the Sun deck and fountain drinks were not very good. Stateroom Quality Room was clean and comfortable, having a balcony was wonderful. However, between excursions, dining, shows & shopping, we did not spend much time in our room. Beds were sooooo comfortable!!! Ship Staff Quality People were really willing to go above and beyond for us, starting from our room attendant & waiting staff and finishing with camera shop and other shop representatives. Entertainment & Activities Destiny dancers & singers were amazing! We loved every show! Comedians were also very funny, but sometimes performed too late (midnight). Last night were was a magic show which was a little dissapointing since things did not go as intended but the magician apologized and said that he had to stop the show so his assistant does not get hurt. We respected that. Children's Programs We don't have children but heard some very good reviews about their children program from other people on the ship. They said their 3-year old loved it. They did all kinds of stuff such as face-painting, etc., which gave the parents a good opportunity to escape and enjoy themselves.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Singles/friends Stateroom Type: Oceanview A good experience by B Cole from The Dalles, Or Sailing date: Mar 2006 Pros: 4 Ports and only 2 days at sea Cons: Embarking and Disembarking out of San Juan. Took a long time long lines and too many people The ship was good Ship Details: Ship Quality Good size ship, has all the things cruises have. Some major dining rooms were in the way when you wanted to get to the other side of the ship. No way around them you had to go up or down the floors to get around them. The decor seemed to be awful dark, room and in general very clean. Dining staff in the free style dining were a little slow in cleaning tables off and sometimes a table would be sticky. Dining/Food The food was excellent. Lots of variety and any kind that you wanted and at all times. Stateroom Quality Size of an outside cabin on the main level was above average. The shower was huge compared to others I have had. You didn't seem crowded in it. The window was very nice for viewing. If there was a way to keep the windows clean on the outside would be even better. Ship Staff Quality Our cabin steward was the greatest. They were friendly and nice to visit with. They recognized us in the port when they were off. Our steward was on stage with the intros and we waved at him and he waved back because he recognized us. They were very talkative and we had excellent service. Entertainment & Activities The quality of the shows were very good. The actiivity people were very fun and entertained people very well to make it fun. Children's Programs Of what I saw it was very good. We had over 600 kids on the ship and we didn't see very many of them. Read this user's port of call reviews: Oranjestad, Aruba; Bridgetown, Barbados; Dominica; Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Oranjestad, Aruba Went on a general tour of the island which was great to see all the natural wonders of the island and sites. Then we went to the beach. It was a good combination. We also went out on a submarine that substiuted for a snorkle. We saw the fish. It was good. Bridgetown, Barbados I wish that we had gone to the beach. We took a distillery tour and and mahoghany factory tour. Very interesting and the guide was very good in telling about her island. I learned alot and find that Barbados has its act together. High taxes though. Don't Miss: Beach swin. Dominica My favorite. The must see tour was the Carib Indian and River tubing tour. They fed you a lunch and entertained you. The other tubing excursion on the ship was sold out and this one is kind of a hidden tubing experience that was very good. The tubes were nice and had a pad in the bottom. They took good care of you going down the river with guides that would pull you out of a stuck place. Our taxi driver was friendly and gave us a tour of the island and took us to the emerald pool for a swim . I just like this island because it is friendly and the jungle is nice. It is not overly developed. Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas I thought that it was very commercial. We did go to Megan Beach which was very nice for a crowded beach. We took an excursion to get to this beach and it included a tour of the island. 13 out of 15 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?
