Sail Date: Nov 2017
Cabin: Oceanview Picture Window

Oceanview room on 6A was quiet & convenient. Most shows were a disappointment in theatre, we only liked 4 out of 11 nights. Game shows were great, very entertaining! Loudspeaker system is horrible & hard to understand what is being said. Music on pool deck was so loud you couldn’t have a conversation without yelling. Kids took over adult pool & hot tubs & nothing was ever said to them. NO enforcement of rules on pool deck, towels on chairs for hours with no one in them. Same offenders every day, 1 person gets up to put towels on 4-6 chairs. Limited shaded area on pool deck & when barbecue happens it takes away a huge shaded area for the am & part of the afternoon. Really enjoyed ports of call, docked close to towns so easy to walk around on your own. We will not sail on this ship again due to everything mentioned above & ship is showing its age.

Also paid gratuities in full & was charged again so must phone to get charge reversed, annoying.

Cabin Review

Oceanview Picture Window

Cabin OD

Nice sized picture window, lots of storage. Bathroom is small but functional. Quiet & close to stairs. No elevator to this deck but only 13 stairs to climb. You do hear anchor being dropped but didn’t bother us since we only had 1 port of call with tender. Didn’t take any shore excursions but people were complaining not much choice due to changes in ports of call.

Port Reviews

Aruba

Lots of shops close to ship!

Curacao

Close to town, bright colourful town with many shops to browse in

Antigua

Our least favourite of all stops. Lots of pressure from locals to hire taxi, take excursions etc.

St. Kitts (Port Zante)

Lots of local shops close to ship to buy souvenirs

Great Stirrup Cay

Beautiful island just wish weather was better. Cloudy & windy so if you went in water it was cold coming out & you didn’t dry off. Plenty of loungers to sit on in sun & shade. Wish we had known of souvenir shops that only accepts cash, we didn’t bring any ☹️
