Review summary

Very good value for the money. Don’t waste your port days. Even just for a stroll through the city- get off the boat!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy! The Faster to the Fun wasn’t necessary as Port Canaveral was very well organized and efficient.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The buffet wasn’t what I expected, but the pizza and main main dining room was absolutely amazing.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The ship didn’t have a lot for teens to do, and they got bored quickly, but overall a very good experience.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Children's Programs

We didn’t utilize the children’s programs.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Every single staff member, from security to the Fun Squad to servers, were on top of their game.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Layout and design was very good. Everywhere we went, we saw people cleaning, which was very good to see.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It’s a cabin on a cruise ship. If you wanted more space, stay on land.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Quick and easy embarkation and disembarkation. A little crowded but it’s to be expected.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
It’s a poor country, so don’t expect perfection outside of the port. Otherwise a beautiful country. Best part was unlike Nassau and Freeport, you aren’t bombarded with people selling you things. We did the 27 Waterfalls and Zipline combo. Amazing experience. The hike to the waterfalls was beautiful, but if you’re not up for hiking, don’t do it. It’s a trip in itself.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Just like Amber Cove, you’re not herded through a hoard of people selling you things. We booked the Reef, Rays and Conch snorkel and I couldn’t have been happier! The crew were hilarious and attentive, and were great to interact with.
