Worst Experience! by
Paul from Palm Beach, Florida Sailing date: Mar 2007This cruise was 7 days of hell. We had a terrible smell (grease exhaust) in the cabin for the first 5 days and we finally were moved after several complaints. Our second cabin had black water coming out of the sink and shower on the last day of our cruise! The charge account process on the last day was a nightmare. We were over billed for the auto tipping. Tipping is not applied until 2am your final evening and problems are not discovered until 6am when you are trying to leave the ship. It took over an hour standing in line to have the mistake taken care of. Entertainment & ActivitiesActivities: The fitness area was very clean. Most of the days Bingo was played very late in the evening - 10pm.

Cozumel, MexicoCozumel Experience.
Cozumel is back after all the hurrican damage. The port looks fresh and much to see and do. New Mall right off the ship is tow levels and shaded frn the sun. We say a free local show with period costumes and dance. The port is very safe with local police everywhere for safty. The people are very friendly, but always trying to sell their goods. The beaches and water are some of the best!
Don't Miss: Shopping for local goods and the beaches and water are clean excellent for snorkling. Key West, FloridaKey West Experience.
Key West if a great port. It was a beautiful sunny day. There were other ships in port which made Old Town very busy. I always love my day in Key West.
Don't Miss: Take the Trolly Tour for a great taste of Key West. George Town, Grand CaymanGrand Caymon Experience.
The Island is beautiful. Get out and experience it. 7 mile beach and the water are wonderful. Shopping prices have risen over the years, but still fun to see the offerings. Very busy port year round.
Don't Miss: Take a tour or experience the beach/water trip. Roatan (Isla Roatan), Bay Islands, HondurasRoaton Experience.
The port is still under construction and first look is a little distrubing. We took a beach tour and were very pleased. Country is still developing for tourists, but the locals are frindly (at least on the tours). I do not recommend touring on your own). It may be safe, but I would not recommend it.

Casa De Campo, Dominican Republic
The local show, dancing, music. The bus ride was a little scary though.
Catalina Island (Isla Catalina), Dominican RepublicInteresting.
Don't Miss: The local show. San Juan, Puerto RicoThe weather was raining, and we arrived in the early evening. Dark, wet and a lot of people walking around, begging for money.
The need for more security (police), and to arrive earlier in the day would help.
Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.Don't Miss: The nightclubs at night. 0 out of 6 people found this review helpful.

Good Cruise, But Could Be So Much Better by
Lynda from Rochester, NY, USA Sailing date: Mar 2007Pros: The beauty of it! Well I'll just quickly summarize it: only 2 restaraunts (buffet and dining) and needs more variety of food. Service in the dine in restaraunt is horribly slow and the same food they serve in the buffet for dinner, but more! The language translations is loud and not very convenient, it takes 5 minutes to translate 5 languages. Children and Teen Centers could be better, but impossible to find the teen center. Overall, Could be Better! Entertainment & ActivitiesActivities: Could have more.
Entertainment: Loved it. Needs more children's shows, though. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

Bari, ItalyBari was just OK.
We took a double-decker bus tour on our own. The town is nice, our guide was informative, but it was just ok.
Mykonos, GreeceMy favorite Port.
We got to Mykonos just in time to have a wonderful dinner at a beachfront restaurant and to watch the beautiful sunset. Then we walked the narrow alleyways and did some shopping. It was an incredible evening.
Don't Miss: The sunset. Santorini, Greece
Unbelievable views.
Don't Miss: Oia Village. Katakolon (Olympia), GreeceKatakalon/Olimpia.
Katakalon and Olimpia were awesome. It was amazing to be standing in the same place where the first Greek athletes trained and competed. Katakalon is a lovely village with shopping and cafes along the water.
Don't Miss: Olimpia. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.
