Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The Posh dining experience was always great and the food was really great. There were lots of options at the buffet and we really enjoyed Guy’s burgers.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We had a great time at every event we went to. The trivia was really fun. My only complaint is when my son wanted to go to the 18-20 mixer it wasn’t very well thought out and was at the same bar as karaoke.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The 80’s music show was very well done and the singers are top notch. Our cruise director was one of the Comics and really nailed it.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff is incredibly friendly. I cannot say enough on how we were treated.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship is a little older, but it was very clean. No complaints.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our Steward, made sure to welcome us early and our cabin was very clean. There was enough room for the 3 of us and very comfortable.

Ship tip

Get to know your fellow sailors and crew. Half the fun we had was with our dinner mates! Also, if you did not book an excursion check out their last minute deals. We had a great tour of Puerto Plata.

Ports of call

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
We tried the local fare and drinks from the pop ups on the beach. Wow, they were incredible. They cored the pineapple in front of us and used them as our glass. The snorkeling by the ship was amazing. We ran into a school of cuddle fish, I watched them for a long time as they changed colours as they became used to my presence. We even saw places where the coral was beginning to grow back.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
We took a last minute tour excursion. What a great time and the rum is amazing. Our tour guide was very proud of his city and it really showed. I learned a lot about the DR!
