Review summary

The new medallion and app did not do what they were built up to do. We could not get activities on the app at all. We tried to order drinks from the app and never received them.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
The cruise employees as we first entered the pier were great! Helpful, welcoming... but it felt like the people in the waiting area just assumed we knew where to go.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
We primarily ate in the Island dining room. Our servers were great! We had reservations each night. The food was definitely not up to par as we had remembered it from before. We had a terrific dinner in the steakhouse.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We were on the ship to relax and we were definitely able to do that. Never had a problem finding chairs at the pool.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
I was disappointed in the entertainment. The daily schedule did not vary at all. Sure, the movies were different, but there was the same activity at the same time each day.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Great staff!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
This is an old ship and can definitely use a good makeover.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Our cabin was small, but definitely served the purpose.

Ship tip

Unfortunately, I think I would advise against sailing on this ship. There are many newer ships to sail on. Take advantage of those.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
We did not do an excursion. We walked to a couple places on our own and made our way back to a gallery that we had been to before. Back to the ship for lunch and time at the pool.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Again, we took a bus trip around the island. Great way to see the area.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
We enjoyed a bus trip of the island. It was great. Took longer than expected but we were back in plenty of time for the ship's departure.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5
Lovely day. We rented a small two person beach shade so we weren't in the sun all day. We also went kayaking. It was nice. Lunch was good and the drinks were all very accessible.

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida
