Date of Trip: June 18, 2000
Itinerary: Caribbean - Southern

Overview
This cruise was the best. I went on the Monarch in June of 2000, 11-18. It was my first cruise & I had the time of my life. Everything about this cruise was perfect, Including the delicious food, Our EXCELLENT waiters, Juan from Japan & Jose from Nicaragua. They were so entertaining & amusing! My nice clean cabin & the cabin steward was very friendly. The lounges & the casino were great. The pool deck was huge & they always had outside activities going on for everyone. The shops on the ship were fun to shop in mainly cause you could by anything for yourself or someone else. They had a great exercise room for those who like to work out. The beautiful islands, St. Thomas, Barbados, Antigua, St. Maarten, St. Lucia & of course San Juan. We took a tour of each island which I enjoyed very much. I also enjoyed the people of the islands & the beaches. All the staff & personnel on the ship were so friendly & they really took care of you. Especially if you had a question or you were not happy about something. I was always happy on this cruise. I enjoyed dinner every evening & our wonderful table mates. I never had a problem with anything. I would recommend this cruise to anyone. I am looking forward to boarding the Monarch again in 2001 & I already can't wait. I could go on & on about the wonderful time I had on this cruise. Happy cruising!

Public Areas
I loved all the lounges. The pool & the casino were just as nice. You could relax by the pool or play any slot machine you want in the casino & there is always a waitress or waiter coming up to you & asking you if they can serve you a drink. Plenty of walking around on the ship without always being so crowded.

Food and Service
The food & service was just perfect! I couldn't have asked for better service & the food was always very tasty & fresh. Especially our meals at dinner time in the dinning room. I never had a problem with the food. Our waiters were splendid & they did a fine job taking care of us.

Cabins
Our cabins were so clean & very comfortable. The cabin steward was very friendly & he cleaned our cabin everyday. You get a clean set of sheets on your bed. I was very satisfied with my cabin. I had a good nights sleep every night for the little amount of sleep I did get.

Entertainment
The entertainment was excellent & I would rate the entertainers & the cruise staff a perfect "10"

Activities
All the ports were beautiful! St. Thomas, Antigua, San Juan, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Maarten. We took a tour of each island & enjoyed every island & the people of the islands. the beaches were very pretty too.

Who Goes
I loved all our friends we met on the ship. Especially our table mates. One couple is from Canada & the other is from South Dakota. We all still keep in touch through E-mails & I hope to see them again in the future. We also had a great couple who are breakfast with us almost every morning. They were from Kentucky. I thought everyone we met on the ship was so friendly indeed.
