Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Chico our room steward was great. I experienced a bit of sea sickness and he always inquired if I needed anything. Really appreciated the extra effort on his part. Our wait staff of Crisanta, Liezel and Merfin were amazing and very personable and remembered our names every day. Also asked how I was feeling and offered some tips to beat the sea sickness.

Enjoyed the size of the room and very comfortable mattress. Loved the balcony.

Ship tip

Take the time to explore the ship on the first couple of days to really see all of the things you can do while aboard.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida Did not visit port

Went to WDW immediately after cruise.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

3 out of 5
Wasn’t much to do here as the weather was a little chilly to enjoy the beach. Think I would pass on visiting here again.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Amazing port went on a local town tour booked through Priceline. The port shops were some of our favorite was able to pick up souvenirs for family and self. Beautiful island.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
Pedro was a great tour guide. Only negative was the tour was scheduled for 4 1/2 hrs but went for the entire port time. Had to hurry back to make the ship. Was disappointed we had no time to shop in port shops other than the one in town we visited during the tour.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy and quick. Seamless process.
