Review summary

See comments below. The cruise ship needs updated. Only one outlet in our stateroom. Bathroom should have a night light. Unfortunately the outlet in the bathroom only works when the main light is on so we could not plug in a nightlight. Entire ship was showing signs of it's age. Is in need of decor updating and repair.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Buffet was basically the same food day after day. The continental breakfast section was pre-made thawed out choices.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Movies on deck were not captioned for the hard of hearing so could not watch them. Also seating was impossible since all of the empty chairs were covered with towels.

Children's Programs

Did not use

Pete, our cabin boy was absolutely fantastic.

Ship Quality

Cleanliness was outstanding, The Staff was very friendly and helpful. Ship quality needs updating. Had to pay to use wifi which we were surprised at so did not use.

Cabin / Stateroom

drawer under sofa was broken as well as the sink drain. Cabin was very small, otherwise, the bed was comfortable.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

Depressing regarding the way people live in the Dominican Republic. We did feel safe enough since we had armed guards around the tour bus at every stop.
