No children traveling with us.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our cabin steward, Jose, took very good care of us! He was there to greet us when we boarded and always addressed us by name. We also had to engage guest services and maintenance and both were great.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The ship which we have traveled on in the past is showing its age.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Great location but I’m a lite sleeper so I could here things moving below me.

Ship tip

This ship is a great size. Very easy to navigate.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida Did not visit port

This is a home port for us.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
Our tour was nice, a few people on our tour was disappointed that the cable car was under maintenance. The tour substituted a museum tour which was nice. Our tour guide at the museum really helped to make the tour.

La Romana, Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
We loved our tour.

Willemstad, Curacao

3 out of 5
Our first time in port and probably will not get off the ship if we stop here again. We did the walking tour. The waterfront was nice but the side streets were crowded and dirty. We did eat at a waterfront restaurant where both the food and service were great. We also enjoyed the DJ.

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
First time in Aruba and we are already talking about going back

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Great! We did carry off and we were off the ship and in our car in under an hour and we did not park at the port.

Nice review. I am hoping to do a Southern Caribbean next Spring. Also looking forward to the two sea days in a row. Building up to a Trans-Atlantic.
