Everything thing I had was very delicious. No complaints! The MDR had a new menu and it is very expansive with various dishes and the buffet was pretty solid.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The main show cast weren’t very good in my opinion but everything else was great. Live music performers were very talented and all 4 comedians were funny. Cookie the cruise director is great as well!

Ports of call

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
This was so much nicer than La Romana. The mountains surrounding the city are stunning. One of the best ports we’ve seen with the tons of shops and main pool right off the ship. I 100% recommend doing the water falls; it was a thrilling experience. There are so many options for things to do here and I would love to visit again.

Miami, Florida

The best port to sail out of. Absolutely beautiful.

La Romana, Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
Island is on the poor side and can be very dirty in the main city. Still a beautiful part of the country. We did the cave tour and river cruise which was pretty fun! Would probably do a beach next time.

Bonaire, Netherlands Special Municipality

5 out of 5
Beautiful little island. Also one of my favorites. Perfect beaches with interesting landscape. We did an island tour and after went to sorobon beach. Saw tons of flamingos!

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
One of my favorite islands in the Caribbean. So much to do and it’s so pretty. We went to eagle beach along with an island tour before enjoying a sunset dinner. Would love to come back.
