Review summary

The cruise was great, I thought the mask thing would be irritating but overall it was not bad, a few places they were a bit more stringent with masks, basically the interior high occupancy areas, but outdoors no masks, pretty much the same for the ports of call. The ship was great but the staff made the trip awesome…

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was just as great as I remember, wish the seafood shack was included but other than that not a single complaint about any food venue!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was awesome, got to see our favorite lead in the restaurant we have been on 4 other cruises with, was great to crash up with him and his family.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Forward facing interior with a window, has lots of room, will definitely look for this type of cabin again.

Ship tip

Many shore excursions book up early so definitely consider pre-booking all of your excursions, specially those that are capacity limited!

Ports of call

La Romana, Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
Definitely need an excursion here, not much around the port to do.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
All inclusive beach day, was a nice beach, water was a bit turbulent but nice, food was ok but not overwhelming!

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5

Oranjestad, Aruba

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
