Review summary

Last summer hoorah. Dorian was out there but the captain avoided the storm. It was smooth sailing just later arrivals and departures.

Embarkation

I am platinum so I boarded very quickly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
The main dining hall was smaller than in other ships I have been on. The lido deck had a buffet only on one side of the ship. There was less variety.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Fitness center pilates, pool

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Watching the flying scotsman and the action on the lido deck.

Children's Programs

3 out of 5
My kids did nightowls. They dont color t shirts like they used to but they were sugared up at the parties. They had a blast. They also watched the outdoor movies. We love those.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
My room steward was nice. It just took awhile to get items I ordered from the fun shops.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
This refurbished ship had alot of visual rust on balconies and stains on the carpet. I think the focus is adding rooms. I had to leave my clothes in the suitcase there was not enough space for clothing.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
I love the location and the sliding balcony door. There was not sufficient space for 2 adults and 2 children.

Ship tip

Bring your own toothpaste, advil, cough medicine and if you require a swim cap they dont sell things like that.

Ports of call

New York, New York

Native new Yorker. I love living here!

Grand Turk Island

1 out of 5
Did margaritaville. I wish they actually went to turk and caicos. The beach is super rocky. I am bored with this port I wish they didn't go there on every cruise from N.y!!!

San Juan, Puerto Rico

1 out of 5
No beach e excursions. You get there so late your happy calls aren't roaming and theres a wallgreens!

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

3 out of 5
Did hillside cabana. Very expensive the jacuzzi should be alot bigger or offer 2 on the deck.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
I wish they wouldn't wake me up with early announcements. You feel like your being thrown out.
