Review summary
This is a great cruise for many reasons including: the food, the new fancy ship, the service staff, the entertainment and the photo ops. You will be disappointed with the following: the 2 small crowded pools, the short amount of time you have at each destination, the timing of each destination (for the 2 best stops you will be getting off very early in morning), the Puerto Rico destination, and the ship elevators! In the DR you have to travel 20-30 minutes to get to a beach with takes an hour away from your already too short time on the island...otherwise you will only be at a pool area. Just take a taxi...much cheaper than an excursion. No excursion needed in Turks. Stay on the boat in Puerto Rico!Embarkation

Ship tip
Only has 2 small pools...very crowded. Might be worth it to pay more to be apart of the “Havana” pool area (private for those people).
Ports of call
Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic
