We spent more money to pay fro a private balcony and could not use it because the sewage smell was terrable .The smell was all over the ship. Bathroom floor always sticky. Ship Qualityfood not cleaned off ship floor quick enough. Shut down pool and hot tub area too early. Should stay open later for the adult. Dining/Foodserved too much of the same thing the whole trip. Food not warm enough. Stateroom Qualitybus boys kept it tidy and worked hard. Ship Staff Qualitystaff alright. Entertainment & Activitiesgood shows

San Juan, Puerto Ricovisit the forts in Old San Juan. Has great shopping and wonderful restaurants.Carolina area has a beautiful beach ,has water sports there.
Don't Miss: both forts. the town of san juan has free trolly servives you can see much of san juan this way. Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.not much to see.would not go back. However St Matin was better.take a city tour,the best way to see the highlight..ask for Daisey she was a great guide. However would not revisit St Martin either.
Don't Miss: Go ride on ATVS..can see alot of the county side this way.Visit Orient beach. Philipsburg, St. Maartenwe toured it by a.t.v. riding.

They Knew It! by
Rodney Fuller from Cleveland, OH Sailing date: Jan 2013Pros: Fun Cruise, Great Service, Excellent Food, OK Shows Cons: Lieing, conniving, corporate management control of information to maximize revenue The corporate management notified us 24 hours in advance that there were propulsion problems, that the ship could not cruise at full speed and that we would "either go to progresso or cozumel" but not both and offered a full refund. Hoping for Cozumel most people did not cancel. However, immediately after departure, we were notified that we were not going to cozumel. The rationale was that our slow speed would get us in too late to cozumel and we would need to leave too early the next day to be able to have excursions -- i.e. no excursion revenue. On the other hand, 2 full days in Progresso allowed for 2 full days of excursions -- i.e. some excursion revenue.
There was no new information after we departed than when the original text went out that caused them to eliminate cozumel. However, the cruise director indicated that if they told everybody they were not going to cozumel, most people would take the refund. I believe they always knew we were not going to cozumel, but didn't give people the info so they could make an informed choice whether to cancel or not.
Shady, deceptive practices by corporate management to maximize revenue and reduce customer choice. Ship Quality

Stateroom QualityI had one of the most expensive staterooms, but only a 1990's 23" tube tv. My neigbor had a nice flat screen. What's up with that? Ship Staff Quality

Family Fun! by
Juli C. from Austin, TX Sailing date: Jan 2013Pros: The Cozumel Port Cons: Check in procedures The ship is an older one in the fleet, but the upkeep is impeccable and it has its own charm and personality. The ships activities were fun and plenty. I just happened to have won $300 in Bingo!! The casino was fun, but slots were tight. I took advantage of the Bella Perlina jewelry sale and was able to buy all the girls a beautiful momento from the cruise! Since, we went with our grown kids and their husbands/wives, we had photos taken on elegant night and they turned out wonderful. I have some beautiful memories, photos, and jewelry. Loved the Cozumel port, and found that disembarking was much improved. Ship Quality
Dining/FoodFood was good, and we really enjoyed the "your time" dining feature. I really liked the didja ever, and the comfort food additions to the menu. Stateroom Quality
Ship Staff QualityThe staff was friendly, and willing to help. But needed ice and there was only ice access through the steward. Loved the spa staff!! Miss Nadine was excellent. Entertainment & Activities

Birthday cruise by
Rosalind H from Austin, Tx Sailing date: Aug 2012Pros: Crew was extremely friendly and helpful Cons: Food was terrible except for the omelets
Ship is clean and most of the staff was professional and helpful. Note that announce book your next cruise seminar personnel was more then 20 minutes late for his on class. Service in the open seating dining room had one side in which the service was extremely good and the other side was extremely slow. Casino didn't have any winning slot hits except for the tournament. Room service extremely slow, wait time to order was more then 20 minutes. Room staff was excellent. Ship QualityDecor was boring, prefer a larger casino with better slots. Ship was kept clean in all areas Dining/FoodFood not tasty, except for the omelets and Mac and cheese. Service on one side of the opening dining was extremely slow but staff was friendly. Enjoyed entertainment done by the dining staff. Had good variety of food but just didn't taste good. Stateroom QualityHad a balcony and room was comfortable and kept clean at all times. Entertainment & ActivitiesBig Easy show was excellent, enjoyed to utmost. 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful.
