Ship Quality

We didn't like how the floors seemed to ALWAYS be a little slick - even in the areas that weren't by the pools.

Cabin / Stateroom

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

4 out of 5

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

4 out of 5
We did the stingray adventure. We were a little disappointed there was only about 1 stingray BUT our host shared a lot of information about the stingrays. It might have been that the stingrays were sensing the closeness of Hurricane Dorian.

Grand Turk Island

4 out of 5
We did the small beach excursion to Bohio dive resort. Lunch was very good and nice to have a beach that only had a few people to share with.

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

Itinerary changed because of Hurricane Dorian - we had a sea day this day and then went to Nassua, Bahamas on Friday (our original sea day)

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
I am not sure what happened but there didn't seem to be an easy to follow plan. We had an announcement that Customs needed us to stop unloading so that slowed things down. I think it would be much better to assign EVERYONE a zone# to depart and you were not able to just come down the stairs or elevators and jump in the long line of people already in line. The line could be controlled better with less people trying to get off at the same time. I am sure this created a lot of tension and also led to a fight breaking out.
