Review summary

You get what you pay for, this ship is best for the young traveler without expectation. Not someone who wants the finer things in life.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Overall it took about an hour... not bad.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
The main dining room (eat when you want) ALWAYS had a wait. If your hungry plan on waiting a half hour to 45 min. The service was slow and the food seemed to get progressively worse as the trip went on.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
There were not many activities on this cruise. I found that to be disappointing. I did however enjoy the spa area and gym very much.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Really not much for entertainment- know before you go!!! Comedy... that’s about it!

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Wait staff- not great! Room staff was good!

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
This ship is OLD and run down... lots of “out of order signs” time to retire it or update it!

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The ONLY thing saving this trip was that I got a balcony- there are very few on the ship, that was shocking in itself. It’s not fancy, but it’s your own outside space...

Ship tip

Get a balcony and don’t expect much because the ship is old.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Spend an overnight in Southbeach because it’s the BEST!!! Great food, night life, beaches, walking to parks and shopping!!!

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

2 out of 5
We went to Ocean World for the dolphin encounter. Let’s just say Mexico did it better. Was not overly impressed, but loved the dolphins and love bird encounter.

Grand Turk Island

3 out of 5
Water and beach’s are beautiful. We went to a private beach away from the port and crowds... trust me on this one! Outside of a beach day- not much to do.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Sucked... first time I ever had to wait on a long line to leave a cruise ship. Took about 45 minuets!
