Review summary

Ship was beautiful and the cleanliness was outstanding. The crew was pleasant at all times. Disappointed to miss two of the four ports and spend five days traveling at sea.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and efficient. Just make sure you have your co-vid vaccination and 48 hour negative test.

Ship experiences

Main dining room fast and efficient. Buffet choices were scaled way back.

Onboard Activities

Activities were also scaled down from previous cruises.

Entertainment

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service throughout the ship was outstanding!!!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship design was very easy to navigate after a day or two. Ship was kept immaculate with non stop cleaning.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was nice size in a good location. Balcony was long but extremely narrow.

Ship tip

Get to know the operation and location of all the elevators. Not all elevators stop at all levels.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
Easy access from parking garage to ship as would be expected at 22 dollars a day.

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
Beautiful port, Scenery along the coastline is picture perfect.

Bonaire, Netherlands Special Municipality

3 out of 5
Take an excursion here if you can. Not much in the way of shops and markets.

La Romana, Dominican Republic Did not visit port

Ship had mechanical problems and bypassed this port.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic Did not visit port

Ship had mechanical problems and bypassed this port.

Disembarkation
