Meeting with the Cruise-Critic crowd: We arrived somewhat late, did not know who the people where…however I did find Jim wearing his slippers and I knew we were in the right place. It was nice to put a face with a name.
Our Cabin steward, no request too big or too small
Suite Big enough for 3 people and lovely verandah
Our dinner mates, They were from Australia. Many nights we were the last ones out of the dinning room.
Larry from the piano bar, quick witted, however needed some ritalin. He could start a song, but had hard time finishing
Concierge service: all requests promply met.
Neptune lounge: Nice place to grab great snacks
Free Laundry
Luncheon with the Captain, they serve the big shrimp on this one
Breakfast + Lunch at the lido deck: many options.
The Porterhouse steak at the Pinnacle.
Dolphin swim in Tortola.
Winning $400 in slots to pay for dolphin swim
Finding out that Sierrachick won at the Casinos.
Someone returning my precription sunglasses to lost + found
Breakfast on our verandah
The band playing at Half Moon Cay, they played great, really set the mood
No Chair hogging was observed
The Aquarium in Atlantis hotel in Nassau, they have one huge stingray in there. Try going during feeding time. I believe it was 3pm.
Dislikes:
St Thomas: everyone on the boat has to show their id. To top it off, it was in the morning, so no sleeping in.
Crew selling all you can drink pina coladas, however not finding them when you need a refill
Waiting for over an hour for a bus to get back on ship after the dolphin swim. We were in remote spot, so no taxis
Kids running up and down the hallway at all hours of the day.
Walking around like a third grader with my tray, trying to find a place to sit at the lido deck.
Tiny shrimp in the shrimp cocktail.
Trying to post on this board, I had to resubmit this review 3 times, hopefully this time it will take
Random thoughts:
If you ever have a chance to go on S suite, I highly recommend it. We had 3 people in our room and there was room to store everything.
We stayed at room S7067, it was by the elevator. There was no one peeking in our cabin, it really didn’t bother us. .At night, if you did not turn on your verandah light, no one saw you. (at least I hope nobody did!!)
Items bought that were useful, Nightlight, Duct tape and lanyard, water bottle and 20 year old tawny port.
We got lots of compliments on signs placed on our doorway, Westie dogs and Sponge Bob, people commented on how they were able to find their room by seeing our signs.
Pina Coladas gripe was resolved by moving to where they were actually making them.
This was a good cruise. I didn’t let the Dislikes get to me, after all I was on vacation. I would recommend this cruise.
