Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The food was quite good (nothing outstanding) in all areas except the Mexican, it was cold and not very good choices.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Used the fitness center it was very nice, need more signage to find wipes to clean the machines. Enjoyed the interactive activities esp Clue, would love to see more of that type. Hot tubs need to be much hotter esp. in the adult area, no fun to use at night

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Comfortable, window was nice for natural light. Bathroom a bit small

Ship tip

Magnets stick to walls but won't hold anything due to wall covering. Bring command strips instead

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

Did not spend time in port area except for quick shopping. We off to Damaguga Falls for cliff jumping and natural waterslides. Absolutely amazing excursion, great hike to get up there, definitely did not need to go to the gym that day !
