The cruise was amazing. Great first cruise post covid. I missed it. Cried both embarking and disembarking
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Embarkation from getting to the back of line, walking on board and getting a fun ship special in a funnel cup in my hand rook 52 minutes. The line moved very quick. Could have been way worse! My friend traveled traveled with a birth certificate, myself a passport. Went very fast!
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
My friend and I ate almost everywhere! Had cucina del cappitano for lunch, portions seem small at first for full portions but they're very very filling and absolutely delicious. Pizza.... is lacking. The crust is decent but the sauce needs way more flavor. Guys burger as always was amazing. Blue iguana was great I ate breakfast burrito almost every day, guys pig and anchor brisket was tough and dry. Pork and sausage were great. MDR was a hit mostly, couple misses (avoid the turkey dinner) I didn't get the buffet. Jonalyn and sandrew in the MDR are amazing, plus kurby with the drinks!!
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
I didn't do any slides or ropes course. Went to the gym often, great set up and view!
Entertainment
4 out of 5
The musicians and bands were amazing. Loved the live music. I saw Flick, and it was a bit lackluster. The talent was there, they could sing and dance. I missed the interactive set and the songs didn't flow very well together from one to the other. Mainly used screens with images. I think that's probably covid related though, however the performers were really good as far as sheer talent goes! Dive in movies and DJ were great as well
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Jonalyn, sandrew, priyesh were my wait Staff. They were great, jonalyn took extra extra care of my friend and i. Can't speak highly enough, even commented to the maitre d! Britaney in the spa is GREAT masseuse I highly recommend her! She has the perfect touch for relaxation. Laura was our room Steward and she was present and very nice. Every time i saw her she asked how our day was and just overall a pleasant person. Be careful of kurby in the dining room!! He's HILARIOUS and will get you with a shot every night! GARY (cruise director) was so fun! He was Garry potter for Harry Potter trivia. Lionel was an awesome shopping guide definitely check out his shows. Great for tips plus he has a great personality!
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Love the color scheme on the ship. Deck 3/4 doesn't go all the way across and if you're looking for a dining room you have to go up a deck. That was the only annoying point. Everyone on here wasn't lying... they are ALWAYS cleaning on ships. Every hallway or area I went to there were people cleaning
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Beds were comfortable. Perfect size for my friend and i, were only in the room for sleeping, getting dressed and getting clean so we got an interior
Ship tip
Have fun. Walk the promenade deck on deck 5 and just breathe in the sea air. She's a great ship
Here we did the hato caves and mambo Beach. It was AWESOME and the caves were so cool. If you snorkel and go to mambo bring it. If not rent one at the bar. Go through the space in the rocks at the pool and snorkel the outside of the rock wall. There's a school of blue tang, squid, parrot fish, puffers and sea fans and coral. Multiple types of barracuda. It was stunning!
I fell in LOVE with the Dominican Republic. Went horseback riding on the beach and it was stunning. I've always wanted to do that and Im considering booking the same excursion next time I go
We did the catamaran sail and snorkel and I wanted to take my tour guide home š¤£ his name was Dennis. Snorkeling was BEAUTIFUL and the BBQ lunch was delicious
