Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone you ran into on the ship was very personalable. Our room steward, Prawech: (Mr. P) was very sweet and right on top of things. He was very accommodating to our needs. The hostess, Dewi in the dining room was so nice! It was always a pleasure to walk in and see her smiling face. Our wait staff, "Cha cha"," John John", & "Chris Chris" were terrific. Always on top of things and kept us entertained. It was always enjoyable. The cruise director, MarQ, was amazing. His energy kept the ship going every day! His love of life and his work kept us smiling. We had so much fun! There was never a bad moment on the ship! Brendon & Jolena were very sweet and helpful! They knew all the best places to check out at the ports.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything on the ship was very well-maintained!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
There wasn't a bad thing about our cabin. It wasn't very big, but for 2 of us we worked it out and was able to get around. We weren't in the room much.

Ship tip

Pack light. Have good walking shoes and a bathing suit! Soak up the sun as much as possible and HAVE FUN!! check out all the shows. There's always something for everyone.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
It was easy to get to and not too far from hotels.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
The port was very nice and had things to do for Everyone! The pools and ocean were clean and clear! Lots of shopping!

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
We went shopping in Old San Juan. It was beautiful to walk around the town and shop. We got recommendations on places to eat and it was well worth it!

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
We took a ferry to St. John and went to trunk bay. Even though we had to pay a bit to get there and pay on the beach, it was well worth it! The beach was crystal clear, not very crowded,and we were able to check out the under water life with snorkels. Afterwards we still had time to shop.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
The shopping and pools were worth it. We didn't do much on at this port.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It was easy and fast! Well worth taking our own bags off the ship. We were able to get off early and couldn't believe how fast it went.

Poor ship you go on next is going to have some VERY high standards to beat, or even equal. Best cruise ever - tough to beat, but someday, maybe.
