Nothing to do but game shows. Roller coaster was broke the whole cruise. Broadway show sucked.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Rooms are small, no dedicated room for shows, over crowded, people sitting on steps. They need tickets to the shows.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5

Grand Turk Island

2 out of 5
Nothing to do but the beach

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

1 out of 5
Worse port of all time, it's just the pool there. 4ft is the max depth. Looks like a old resort carnival bought

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
They're fixing it, adding more shops. But when you leave from the port you will get harassed to buy things

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Unorganized

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm sorry it wasn't a great trip. My family is sailing on Sunday and I'm praying it's better. This is my last trip before I return to my classroom and I want it to be a good one.

We've been to Nassau quite a few times and have watched it change for the better. You can go to the other side by Atlantis and there are some nice beaches. Grand Turk grab a golf cart and explore the island lots to do.

Nowhere to go but up!

People need to YouTube the ports before they book. Amber Cove is exactly what it’s supposed to be. A big beach resort party. Grand Turk is a small island with a beach right at the end of the pier, which is why people go there. There are also many excursions, so saying there is nothing to do means nothing free, except the beach and the pool. Sort of like Amber Cove - there is a theme to these ports, which is why they are on the same itinerary. Nassau is indeed getting better. Just ignore the peddlers.
