Review summary

This was the first cruise I'd been on in 25 years. The boat was clean, the staff was helpful. The evening dining meal was just OK. Nothing to write home about. More staff is needed at the coffee bars during the morning and afternoon. There was always a long line. The 9th floor coffee bar never had more than one person. The snorkeling was not worth the money. The staff was very friendly and helpful but the snorkeling was below average. If you have been snorkeling in the Caribbean before, save your money. You won't see anything new. And you have to wear a life vest which is a pain. I can't recommend the dune buggy excursion in Grand Turks enough. That was the highlight of the trip for us.

Everything was fine except the TV channel choices. More channels would be nice.

By far the best port. Walk off the boat and you are on the beach. Our dune buggy excursion was the highlight of the trip. SHelden and his staff were amazing. I can't recommend this excursion enough. Will definitely do this again.

I would love to go on the buggy’s but they only have two seaters.
