Entertainment

3 out of 5
Stage shows could had been better if doors were closed at the beginning of the show. It was very disturbing having people constantly coming in and blocking views and making you move out of your seat.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Shout out to Julio in main dining restaurant and Alexander in the brunch restaurant.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
There was a lack of hand sanitizers by the elevators and having someone monitoring people coming to eat with clean hands… a must and especially during pandemic.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Kept in shape by Jessitoni with class and style.

Ship tip

Don’t take off your face mask and clean your hands.

Ports of call

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

2 out of 5
No much to see at the cruise port beside been a souvenir shop. Took a excursion to Puerto Plata with outside vendor…waste of time and money.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Love that the beach was close by and did some shopping at the duty free shop.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
The disembarking was smooth but coming back was a little rough specially among some unruly people.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Went to migration before getting the luggages but unlike airport procedure, you got to get the luggage before. Missed the memo if there was one and the procedure was not fool proof in not having personnel telling you as you disembarked.
