Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Our food in the main dining room was warm at best. The selection and variety of food was good. It was also very cool in the dining room, so needed a jacket or sweater, we asked if anything could be done and we were told it is always like that and their was no way to control this without effecting other areas of the ship.

JiJi Asian Kitchen

Cucina Del Capitano

4 out of 5

Food was good, pasta sauce could have had a bit more flavor.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pool and hot tub were well maintained.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows in the main theatre (liquid lounge) we excellent. The comedy club was good too, just had issues getting the comedians on board the ship to provide a show.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone we came in contact with were pleasant and willing to put their best foot forward. Top notch service.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
It was difficult to access the sunrise dining room because you could only access it by going a floor above it or a floor below it and then take the stairs or elevator to that floor. Access to this area was cut off by the lime light theatre, which was usually busy with a comedy show during dinner time.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was typical size of most cruise ships we have been on. The shower in the bathroom was poorly designed, so water was not contained to the shower area. Cabin was clean

Ports of call

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
We enjoyed the central recreation area (pool, basketball court). The skyline bar had beautiful views, but other then that it was just an outdoor bar.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
The shopping was good. If you walked up to Black beards Castle (which is closed) the view of amazing.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
We did the Bacardi Tour, we took the ferry over and a short walk from there to a taxi terminal for a ride to the Bacardi facility. The shopping here was plentiful. Barrachina restaurant... We experienced the "birth of the pina colada.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Beautiful Island. We did the Island tour. Great way to see entire island in short amount of time. Beaches are all public.
