Embarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Breakfast and lunch buffet is pretty much the same for 5 days, not much variety. Dinner is ok. A family member got really bad food poisoning on the last day eating food by the pool, beware.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Activities were ok.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Not very enjoyable watching movies by the pool outside, when it’s so wet and windy, chairs are wet too. Not enough seatings for shows, had to stand to watch a lame comedian.

Children's Programs

Don’t have kids with us.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Waiters at dinner weren’t very sociable and informative about our dinner. Especially when there aren’t any information anywhere else. They never informed us about the different menu that they offered, like vegan or gluten free menu and or you have to pre-order the night before in order for them to prep for the next night. Dinner time wasn't very clear either.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship is very clean, but layout is ridiculously. For instant, we can't get to our dinner lounge from the same floor, which is on 3, we had to go up to 5, go to the aft, then back down. Our mistake on the first night.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin is pretty nice and spacious, but the Pullman bed is pretty low, up or down, so banging your heading is a must, especially for tall people.

Ship tip

You get what you pay for.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Take too long and people standing around everywhere. Getting off is a pain.
