Ship Quality

1 out of 5

Layout was bad, especially if you are handicapped. You need to take elevators just to go from front to back.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

Cabin was just okay. The window would have been nice, but when the windows are so dirty you can't see out, why bother to have a window.

Ship tip

Dont, it is an old rust bucket.

Ports of call

Grand Turk Island

2 out of 5

Grand turk is a big rock. After being stuck on a ship going 10 knots and rocking back and forth for 3 days. Any dry land was welcome.

Who goes on a cruise and look at rust? Most people would go and enjoy the fact that they didn't have to cook, clean, wash, work, run after kids or just to have some time with family and friends. Oh well can't please everyone.

That really sucks makes me nervous for our upcoming trip. This boat is going in for a dry dock any day now with renovations and hopefully fixing rust

My husband and I had a wonderful time on our travels to DR.

Great ports & everlasting memories!

It was horrible. The operation of the ship made everyone on board sea sick. Will not use this ship again.
