Sailed from Barbados in March 2009. The luggage was through checked and we did not have to reclaim it on arrival. The ship was in a resonable condition. Everywhere was clean. The Plantation was the serve yourself resturant and had a wide variety of food to suit all tastes. There was a small charge to upgrade to La Luna Resturant in the evening which was excellent ( the captain and Senior Officers were also seen dining there). The Bistro was more expensive and not so good.
Shore tours were expensive and it was far easier to just wait until arrival and share a minibus with others doing the same tours as the cruise line but by far cheaper.
The quizes were good and enjoyable but the shows were really not to our taste.
The service on the ship was good and there were tea and coffee making facilities in the cabin.
Having cruised many times before on more expensive cruise lines we found this to be a really good deal but very informal so it really depends on what you want from a cruise. if you want the formality and dressing up then this is really not for you but if you just want to do your own thing with no set dining times this may suit you far better.
