Creator's Key Takeaways

She's one of those vessels that has been around the block, refreshed and polished up to keep pace with the newer giants, and she still draws a loyal crowd year after year.

The Wind Jammerstyle buffet is the casual workhorse of the ship. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with rotating stations covering everything from carved meats to international dishes, salads, and a dessert spread that's borderline dangerous.

The Flow Rider surf simulator that lets guests try body boarding or standup surfing on a continuous wave. Watching the action is half the fun since wipeouts are entertaining and the crowd usually cheers everyone on.

The private island stop is consistently a guest favorite with calm beaches, water sports, and amenities designed specifically for cruise passengers.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Claim a pool lounger early on sea days to get a spot near the action.
Consider booking at least one specialty dining experience for a more relaxed, upgraded meal.
Read the daily program to make the most of the packed schedule of activities.

Not knowing how much time to spend in the roomOcean View staterooms are a sweet spot for guests who want a glimpse of the outside world without paying for a balcony.
Feeling overwhelmed by choicesThe Wind Jammer buffet has indecision as a real risk because the choices are everywhere, but there's usually a quieter corner if you wander a bit.
