Review summary

Great cruise and we will go on more. We used this cruise to see if it is something we enjoy doing while traveling.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Everything went smooth. Our group was called and we were on the ship 15 minutes earlier than planned.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Very clean ship. Buffet food was typical, but the main dining was exceptional. Plenty of items to choose from and some each day were items I couldn’t get back home, which I loved. The food was excellent

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Plenty of activities to do. We enjoyed the hot tubs mainly, and just sitting out on beach chairs for relaxation.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows weee great. Comedians were fun to listen to. Karaoke was entertaining and also participated in trivia. Plenty to do throughout the day.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We never met a rude person. All the staff was courteous and service was exceptional.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Liked how most activities were on 3 main decks. Everything was kept up and clean throughout the day.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We didn’t spend much time in our room except to sleep. The balcony was a nice addition to be able to wind down at night and also see ports as we were coming and leaving without having to be on the upper decks.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
We did a self walk tour on San Juan. Very doable to see main sights.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
We did a driving tour to see both sides, Dutch & French. A lot of interesting facts about the island.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
I would suggest anyone to visit. St. Thomas is beautiful and had everything we wanted. Beautiful beaches and plenty of shopping.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Went smoothly in a timely fashion.
