Service and Staff

Main dining room lead waitress Melanie was very friendly and made you feel welcomed. Room steward on our deck were very friendly and Helpful especially Aldi.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ships layout is a little confusing because the floors do not allow you to go from one side of ship to the other side. Takes some getting use to.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was better than expected since this ship was smaller than others we sailed on. Bathroom and shower had plenty of space. Only problem was the cove balcony view was more obstructed than expected.

Ship tip

Ship is very fun but take the first day to explore and learn how to move about the ship. Go from deck to deck it will be much easier than getting on a elevator and thinking you will end up at your destination only to find out that you can't get there.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

3 out of 5
Had visited this port couple times before and due to heat didn't explore any of it this time. Not much to do there anyway.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Disembarking started out slow and it was a mass confusion with getting your luggage that was handled by the ship. Also my new luggage was broken during embarkation and Disembarking.
