Review summary

10/10 would do this same cruise again. You couldn’t script a trip to be as nice, relaxing, and enjoyable because no one would believe it could be that good in real life but it was.

Embarkation

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Just about any type of entertainment you are looking for can be found on board - musical performances on a big theatre stage? Got it. Classic rock bar band playing into the night in a pub? Got it. Piano bar? Got it. Such a wide variety of type of performances happening all the time in various venues meant you can always find something enjoyable to watch and listen to.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone on board went out of their to greet with with a smile, no matter what task they were in the middle of or time of day.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Always spotless. Crew were routinely cleaning every part of the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Great storage. The balcony was a nice place to get some fresh air and enjoy the view. The cabin next door forward jutted our slightly so much of the breeze from the moving ship was blocked. Sometimes this was nice and sometimes you didn’t get as much moving air as desired.

Ship tip

Take the time to explore the schedule of events and give things a try that you might not otherwise do.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Port was Easy to navigate and clean.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
Shopping available right off the pier. Plan to take a bus or water taxi to main downtown district if not doing a planned excursion. Beautiful island with much to explore.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
Shopping available right off the pier. Plan to take a taxi or bus to nearby villages for walking or beaches or more shopping. Beautiful island with much to explore.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
Very cool and old world. The blue cobblestone and old buildings of Old San Juan were nice to walk around. Lots to do and see walking directly off the ship.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
A very tropical feeling port. Some typical port shopping right off the ship but may need a bus or taxi to find beaches or more shopping.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth debarkation. Luggage retrieval was quick and easy. We breezed right through customs.
