This is a ship which people should try - it is fantastic! I was really impressed with everything and I could not believe how spacious it seemed considering the number of passengers. Service was excellent in every department and the cleanliness was outstanding.

The public areas were extremely comfortable. My favourite room was the Schooner Bar which had a very different atmosphere at different times of the day. There was no walk around promenade. Both the pool area and the casino had a great buzz.

Food was excellent as was the service and very attentive. There was a buffet restaurant which was good but I prefer dining in the main restaurant.

The cabin was fine but as usual on RCI ships until lately were on the small side. There was enough closet space and the shower was OK. No noise.

Attended two or three of the shows which were very good and the cruise staff and entertainers were great.

On board visit shops, lie in the sun, hang around the bars, play bingo. Ashore look around the city at which docked or take a tour. St. Thomas, Martinique, Barbardos, St. Lucia and Antigua. Not impressed with Martinique and Barbados. Childcare etc not applicable.

Got on fine with fellow passengers and would feel comfortable inviting them for dinner.
