Review summary

Overall a fun experience with lots of activities!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Looked overwhelming, but was quick and easy!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Pretty good choices overall, some items in the buffet stayed empty too long and we went without as not to hold up the line.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Loved the games! Trivia, guess the songs, scavenger hunt so fun!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The stage shows and band were so talented! This was a highlight of the cruise!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our steward was amazing! So pleasant and helpful, our room was always perfect.Waiters were always prompt in clearing dishes.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Some things were hard to find such as the posh restaurant, that was stressful in trying to make dinner on time. The ship needs trash cans and perhaps areas to set dirty dishes as opposed to any open table or floor.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Size was fine for 2 people and was clean. May not get a balcony again as we didn't use it.

Ship tip

Go to meals early so you can find a table easliy.

Ports of call

Grand Turk Island

4 out of 5
Site seeing tour was interesting, water was beautiful.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
Site seeing and beach tour was great! Wish we had more time at the port for shopping and activities after the tour.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
Chaos! We waited for our group but others did not, which I believe cluttered the halls and elevators were so slow and packed. There has to be a better way!

Demarcation is usually crazy because people do their own thing and don't follow the rules

Appreciate your feedback. Sorry about the debarkation fiasco. We’ve been on sailings where people actually listened and followed the rules… those went well. However, more often it’s like yours. Glad you mostly enjoyed your cruise otherwise.
