Review summary

You can't sum this up in 50 characters (have a detailed review on cruise critic). Beautiful boat, fast and friendly employees. Surprisingly great food. Nothing really to complain about. My agent Kimberly Lindsey deserves high remarks as well!

Grand Turk Island

Tiny island. But the best part is you walk off and have the clearest water and prettiest beaches of any of the stops right there. For $10 you can get two chairs and umbrella.

La Romana, Dominican Republic

Port itself isn't much - no beaches near by. We took a taxi (for 7 of us $15 each round trip) to Dreams Resort for a resort day ($65 each). It was great!

Willemstad, Curacao

didn't really do much here. Got off and walked around and saw the Queen Ann bridge, tasted a local beer at a outside bar and listened to live music. People rave about this stop but we didn't pay to go anywhere.

We took the walk off option with our luggage and it was super quick and no traffic. Waked right on off the boat in minutes.
