Review summary

Fabulous Fun! Our first cruise and we are hooked. Planning our second! Loved the entire week. Excellent staff- Tedo from Posh Restaurant and Made our steward. Highly recommend.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Getting on boat was orderly. Plenty of staff leading me guiding you.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food is plentiful but limited variety. We tried all restaurants except two. We enjoyed all. Our favorites were the Mongolian Wok and the Mexican restaurant. Both have long line but worth the wait. Never hungry throughout cruise. Loved dinner and the staff.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We had fun. Had to figure out the boat directory but once we got the hang of it we did more. We played putt-putt, connect four, bean bag toss, went to Casino, musicals, the comedy shows and watched movie at poolside. Something to do everyday.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows are 30 minutes in length and entertaining. Some only run. Few nights and others every night. All enjoyable.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
You have dedicated staff assigned to you throughout the trip. Our steward and dinner staff were awesome. They learned our names and we gut to know them as well.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The staff cleaned hourly. You see cleaning staff all day keeping tables cleared and bathroom cleaned.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
All comforts you need. Small but cozy.

Ship tip

Attend the ship orientation and debarkation meetings. So much to know and they make it easy.

Ports of call

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
Had fun and lunch pleasantly good. Warm food since outside but prepared well.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
The best pool ever. The excursion itself average. But the port has a huge pool connected to margaritaville restaurant. It’s family friendly. Would recommend just staying at port instead of excursion. We loved our time there.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Long lines but went smooth. Had to wait about hr for shuttle to parking.
