Review summary

We had a great time. We would do this ship again! I think there were lots of kids onboard but we really rarely saw or heard them.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
8 ships in port that day. Very busy!!!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Dining room was fantastic! Very private table, quiet and great food! Service was outstanding. Did not go to the buffet at all but did eat at Guys Burger and the Blue Iguana. We ate way too much!!!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Onboard activities are what you make of them. You can be as active or lazy as you choose to be. Lots of choices!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Went to all of the shows, trivia, and comedy shows. We had a great time at everything. They Love and marriage show was great laughs!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Had great service everywhere we went. Never had any issues with any staff.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
There was rust here and there but no big deal. Always people cleaning everywhere. On port days there were people out painting. Did have a funky smell after they cleaned some carpets and after they waxed some of the decks but those things have to be done sometime so you just moved away a little and it was fine.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was a fine inside cabin. No complaints.

Ship tip

Try to go to the shows 30 minutes early. The comedy shows maybe a hour early. Have fun!!!

Ports of call

Grand Turk Island

4 out of 5
Our favorite port. Easy to swim here. They need to do a much better job on letting you know which chairs are the free ones though. I knew there free chairs but there were still people trying to sell them for $35.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Pushy vendors and dirtier compared to the other ports but our excursion was fine.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
The port was nice. We slid down waterfalls here.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
A bit long but I don't think it was the ships fault as much as the customs fault. Port staff were fantastic getting everyone to the right spots for all of their transportation.
