Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

They did a great job. Food was pretty fresh, had some healthy options. Very well kept and clean. Drinks are overpriced and weak, but that is typical of most cruises.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Pools and hot tubs were crammed with people. The adult only area, Serenity is nice. Get there early.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Common areas are well maintained. Bathrooms are nice. Not a HUGE ship, so easy to navigate.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

It had enough space for 2 women and their bags, so we we're pleased.

Ship tip

It's nicer than I expected, but the shows are mediocre. Check out the comedians, they are good.

Ports of call

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

4 out of 5

We did an excursion that took us through a local's home, farm, schoolhouse, lunch and a beach. $89. It was OK, but wouldn't do it again. The rest of my group enjoyed it. I would prefer a snorkeling trip or being in town. Water was super rough.

Grand Turk Island

No excursion. We got off the boat and rented chairs by the water. Make certain to go WAY down the beach, near Jack's. Less crowded and less expensive. Beautiful water.
