With this being our first cruise, we don't have anything to compare. But were very pleased overall with our cruise. We thought the service and staff were great. Everyone was very kind, helpful and fun. Our steward was very attentive and did a great job with managing our needs. We thought the food was very good with lots of choices. We especially enjoyed the Island Dining room. The entertainment was very enjoyable. Great variety of music and choices. We absolutely loved sitting on our balcony and enjoying the smooth ride and breathtaking scenery. We were appreciative that the captains would point out when there was a whale/wildlife spotted.
Pros: Service and accommodations were great. We loved our balcony! It was our favorite spot to be
Cons: The ship layout was confusing. Some elevators only went to certain floors. You would get dropped off at the nearest floor and then you were required to walk up/down stairs to get to the level you were looking for.

From the moment we arrived on the ship, we were met with friendly smiles and helpful staff. We were newbies to the cruising world, but with the help of staff and other cruisers, we soon found out how to navigate around the ship. Everyday there was a video, from our cruise director Alli, of what activities were happening that day. It was called, The Wake. Also, every evening, we received a brochure of the activities of what to look forward to the next day. Believe me, there was something for everyone! The staff was incredibly friendly and always helpful. Several staff were just exceptional. We met the captain, toured the galley, used the laundromat, disco danced on the top floor, poured champagne on the stack of champagne glasses. We were never bored and tried as much as we could! I had read that some people thought the Caribbean was an older, tired cruise ship and lost its charm. Not at all. It was lovely. I watched the staff clean every inch of the ship nonstop — windows, doors, tables etc. with pride. The ship had plenty of charm and warmth.
Pros: staff, ship, food, excursions
Cons: Saying goodbye to our Caribbean friends after a week

Overall, the service does need to have some more training or more people to help with the guest in service. Had to wait 30 to 45 minutes for a drink from the bars. In the buffet area was hard to get someone to serve us coffee, milk and water. When asked a few times their response was I will get someone to help you and then another person would come and ask what we would like to drink. Had lunch at the Palm dining room and was not happy with my lunch as the fries were cold and my sandwich was just ok. Our stateroom attendant Marvin was great and got us anything we needed.
Pros: very good in helpful when asked questions about things on the ship
Cons: service was not very good at some bars and in the buffet area
