This time around we opted for the late check in it was amazing no long lines no waiting from the time we were drop off to the time we made it to the lido deck it was no more than 20 minutes, loved it.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The ship and Restaurant were clean and the staff was amazing Juan was our waiter for the week very friendly and courteous. I felt that the drinks were overpriced and water down and 55 bucks for 6 beers.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The room was great larger than expected and having two showers came in handy to help us get ready sooner.

Ship tip

The ship is pretty large book a mid ship room to save you the walking, lol.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

1 out of 5
Nothing to do or see.

Oranjestad, Aruba

3 out of 5
I expected more the shop closed early no dutty free available but near it is near plenty of restaurants and bars walking distance.

Bonaire, Netherlands Special Municipality

3 out of 5
Also the port is very minimal no duty free a hand full of shops and beaches are on the other side of the island transportation is cheap 5 p/p each way about 15 ride.

La Romana, Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
The port it self is clean and beautiful pool area and plenty of shops including duty free but if you would like to visit the local areas it too far to walk outside book an excursion or take a taxi.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
Just like La Romana the port is beautiful their is access to a beach and plenty of shops but to explore the city you need transportation to far from the center of Puerto Plata.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
The luggage area was a but confusing and the area is very narrow for the amount of people getting off the boat, that needs better design.
