Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The layout of this class ship is nice and if you’re into crowds or a people person the bigger a ships are for you. As for some of the elevator areas especially on level 7 empress deck did smell of garbage. We tried to avoid those elevators

Cabin / Stateroom

Very clean and comfy

If you don’t like large ships, then this class of ship is great to cruise

Not sure what happened at the star rating. It definitely is and should be a 5 star rating.

No excursions at both ports. Did shopping and went down to Jacks Shack in Grand Turk. Did some snorkeling also. In Amber Cove we rented a cabana with 4 others, zip lined, same in the pool and shopped and walked around quite a bit. Great coffee
