We just returned from a 7 day in the Caribbean aboard Windsurf. As others have noted, crew and food remain great, as always! However, I would absolutely say that the ship is looking worn. The furniture in our room (114) was a little beat up, but most surprising is the mirror, which looked incredibly pitted. Our room steward actually apologized for the condition of it. I think what bothered me the most was lack of power options - one 110 plug in the room w/ a max of 400v. Besides our room, the deck by Amphora definitely has some rotted wood and a few specific spots that definitely looked like a tripping hazard to me.

Hi Scotlady - Did you end up going w/ Benny? I’m also looking for speedboat vs catamaran tour and was he has good reviews on Trip Advisor, but wondering if you were able to make it to that tour and, if so, if you enjoyed it.

We stayed at the Hilton in October 2021 and agree with the others...it's "ok" but I'd try at Sofitel next time.

We did the all inclusive and found it well worth it. One day had mimosas with breakfast, but we usually had pre and post-dinner cocktails. I really liked not having to think about it, not caring if my drink wasn't great, etc. Beyond the drinks, I also liked the idea that wifi was included (I needed to check in back home a few times) as well as tips. We still tipped extra (in cash) because service was that great, but I liked having the basic tip amount included. Bottom line, once we deducted what we'd pay for WiFi as well as tips, we calculated that we'd break even around 5 drinks/day. That was close enough for us to purchase it ahead of time. The convenience was well worth it (and we never had an issue getting drinks).
