Review summary

Since this was my first cruise, I was very overwhelmed going through the process. However, after meeting several people from around the country, I felt at ease. My ship steward Sue was amazing and called me by my first name . I enjoyed the dinner and spa staff. The food for breakfast and dinner was good.

Ship tip

One suggestion would be for the cruise line to possibly offer small group tours for those who are first time travelers.

The beach was small and really just a port for shopping.

Travelers have to take a taxi to get to the two beaches available. The second option Coki Beach is very nice but crowed.

Excellent for site seeing and wonderful hidden treasures all around. I ate at the Meatball Kitchen with my friends. The food was amazing, excellent husband & wife owners!

Wonderful duty free shopping area and options for either saying on the beach or pool area. I did not participate in an excursion.
