Great experience! by
Michelle from Mableton, GA Sailing date: Aug 2007Pros: All the things to do like Movies under the Stars and just relaxation. It was very clean and beautiful also. Everything was great from the food to entertainment. As this was our first cruise we did not know what to expect but it was better than we thought. Just do not get sucked into all the stuff they try to sell you- the spa is nice but of course they sell you so much stuff to with whatever service you get it is really expensive, the passport to savings book is a scam in my opinion they lure you in with promises of free stuff and savings but not worth it at all. Ship was clean there was always something to do and met really nice people. We are going to go again next year! Dining/Food
Stateroom QualityBeds were small.
Ship Staff QualityMet some really nice staff members that gave excellent service.
Entertainment & ActivitiesActivities: Always something to do. They need to make the gym "adults only". You turn around and a 5 year old is playing on the treadmill you wanted to use.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)Just great. A perfect relaxing island experience.
Just perfect from beginning to end. Relaxation, beautiful unspoiled beaches with great snorkeling the bbq was great. No pressure no shopping just perfect!
Don't Miss: Snorkeling. Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.Great island to visit!
Beautiful! We did not pay for an excursion from the boat when we disembarked the taxi guy told us he would take us around and it was much cheaper and we saw almost everything! It was great!
Don't Miss: All the different beaches. Philipsburg, St. MaartenNice place to visit.
St. Maarten is nice. You do not have to pay for an excursion from the ship as the island has its own bus system and you can go from the Dutch to French side for 2 dollars. I was not amazed with this island though. It was a bit dirty.
Don't Miss: The French side of the island. 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

A good time was had by all! by
Sheryl from Michigan, USA Sailing date: Aug 2007Pros: Tied for food and service! We had a lovely trip! The shore excursions went well with a lot of variety. Our college-aged children enjoyed it very much - it being their first cruise. The ship is very interested in keeping public areas clean. We won't go for the flexible dining schedule again as it was way too crowded at certain times of the evening. We enjoyed many of the on-ship activities, spa services, high teas, dance lessons, wine-tasting. We had a great time! Dining/FoodThe food was excellent.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)Good snorkeling.
It was a very liesurely day on the beach with some nice snorkeling and good food.
Don't Miss: Snorkeling. Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.Lovely island.
We explored downtown in the morning and then went on the Sea Blaster excursion. The Sea Blaster was not that great because the snorkeling was mediocre.
Don't Miss: St. John. Philipsburg, St. MaartenBeatiful island, but it rained.
It rained all day, so we just stuck to St. Philipsburg.
Don't Miss: Tour the island by renting a car. 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful.

Cozumel, MexicoCozumel is okay.
Went to Playa Mia park. Good for kids, a beach with motor sports, snorkeling and a water trampoline. Food was not that great. Went to snorkel the reef, not as nice as I expected. Bargaining with the locals over mexican handicrafts was fun.
George Town, Grand CaymanBeautiful beaches.
Don't miss swimming with the stingrays, they really are gentle creatures. The turtles are cool to see too, they are quite large and old. The coral reef there is the most beautiful and colorful IVE EVER SEEN. Don't miss Rum point and Seven mile beach, the water is clear all the way down and the water is the most turquoise blue I've ever seen.
Ocho Rios, JamaicaJamaica is wild.
Go see the falls in Ochio rios but don't climb up them. The climb if its busy takes almost an hour and your better to play in the falls down below and climb up the steps. The drivers are wild and fast in Jamaica so I wouldn't drive there but have someone show you around the island is better.
Don't Miss: The falls. Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

Very relaxing and pampering! by
Sherry from Nashville, TN Sailing date: Sep 2006Pros: Movies under the stars--and alternative dining choices. Our experience was to great that we pre-booked a future cruise before we even left the ship. The entire ship was always clean, staffed well and easily accessible. Our balcony room was really really nice. Coffee in the mornings viewing the beautiful Carribean sea--ah--now thats what a vacation should be! Doing a 10 day cruise this October too. Movies under the the stars was totally awsome! Entertainment & ActivitiesActivities: Movies under the Stars is a must--totally awsome. The pools are fresh water too--so much better to relax in.
Entertainment: Lots of choices for after dinner entertainment. Liked that a lot.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)Princess Cays is OK.
Tendering in is never fun! Standing in line to pay for cabannas, floats etc wasn't worth it at all. Also standing in line to disembark back to the ship was long and boring.
Don't Miss: Snorkeling was good. Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.Disppointed in Megan's Bay.
I have been to St Thomas several times before. The diving wasn't all that good. Megan's Bay was a total disappointment. Very busy, commercialized, crowed, dirty.
Don't Miss: Take a sail boat excursion or go to St John's. You will be more likely to return to St Thomas then. Philipsburg, St. MaartenBest day ever at Orient Beach! Best day ever in St Maarten!
Orient Beach was so beautiful. I have never seen such blue and turquois water. It was a beautiful day. We would have stayed there forever. Extremely relaxing! 2 chairs and 2 drinks were onl $10 too! Great deal. Orient Beach is the best ever. Clean, quiet, beautiful blue, turqouis water. Totally relaxing and romantic.
Don't Miss: Orient Beach and shopping. The best liquor prices in all the Carribean! 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful.
