Thanks a lot. How was it?

 

I'm hoping to write a brief review later.

 

The ship is fantastic. The entertainment is really unsurpassed. The food and service was quite good.

 

There's a 3 socket outlet on the desk, and another outlet under the bed (you pretty much have to lift the mattress to get to it). A VERY small bathroom with a VERY narrow sinktop. Shower is enclosed, a vast improvement over the traditional shower curtain and wet floors.

 

If you stay onboard during ports, you can sit pretty much where you want. Solarium starts to fill-uparound 10:00AM or so - there's a limited but decent menu in the Solarium Bistro for breakfast and lunch. We were disappointed with Johnny Rockets.

 

In St Thomas we did the St Johns National Parks (Beaches) tour and were disappointed. In St Maarten we did the Magical Island tour and were again disappointed (except for Sarafino's Bakery in Marigot).

We parked at Park-N-Go which was very efficient and less than half the port parking.

 

Check-in was very organized - at 11:00AM we were on board in an hour. Disembarkation was also very efficient and a very short line at Customs.

 

All in all, still an A+ and IMO way above Carnival.
