Date of Trip: October 24, 1999
Itinerary: Caribbean
Although a tip for the crew is included in the price it would be better if the amount was reduced allowing you to tip as you see fit. Some deserved more than others.
Very comfortable but beginning to show their age.
The food and service were excellent always plenty of good quality food and a real genuine friendliness of the staff made a refreshing change. As I have an allergy to Garlic I was impressed how much care was made to ensure I had Garlic free food. (Very reassuring)
Cabins very clean and comfortable but very noisy (especially when ships side thrusters in use for docking)
Very good.The shows were very well performed. Al;though some aspects were a little "Butlin's,ish".
Relaxing on board - getting ready for the next trip ashore ie. St. Lucia, Antigua, St. Thomas, Dominica. Etc.
Although you expect to meet different people I don't think I would invite a lot of the fellow passengers for dinner although I certainly would some of them. (Certainly some of the staff)
