Outstanding Cruise. Very clean ship, cabin, excellent service, very good food and accommodating staff. Friendly and caring crew. Easy to mingle with other guests. Home away from home atmosphere. Extremely relaxing. Beautiful ports of call, excursions are plentiful. Don't miss the dinners in the dining room, very entertaining staff.

All public areas were kept spotless. We especially liked the Lido deck for late night coffee and view of the sea, moon and stars. Pools were okay, salt water. Casino was small but adequate. patient dealers, willing to explain the games. Saw numerous slot winners.

Food was well presented and tasteful. Lots of variety at each sitting or buffet. If you went hungry it was entirely your own fault.

Cabin was adequate, cabin steward was excellent. Shower was small but water pressure and temp was excellent. Once we left cabin, it felt like it was immediately cleaned. As Canadians we received Canadian newsletter daily with our Sundial newsletter. Brits received the British newsletter. Closet space was plentiful. We were in a midship cabin and experienced some vibrations.

Missed most shows but did overhear other passengers saying the shows and comedians were great. We saw Oaysis (caribbean group) play last night of cruise, it was a very good show. Daily Trivia by the pool was quite entertaining, staff very comical.

We spent a lot of time of deck 9 tanning, this deck should be avoided if you object to topless bathing.

Best Ports of call were St. Kitts and Catalina Island. There were too many ships visiting St Thomas (9) on the day we were there, became overcrowded on land.

We were treated to a BBQ by cruise line on Catalina that was outstanding. Overheard a 89 yr old exclaim he now saw paradise.

Other passengers were Canadian or British. We met 3 British couples that we would invite to our home anytime. We exchanged email and postal addresses and do intend to keep in touch. We miss their company and are happy we can replay the video we took to see them once again.
