Review summary

Overall, it was a fantastic cruise and I highly recommend it.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was during TS Nestor, so it was raining and windy. I think embarkation went very smoothly under those circumstances.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
I was a little disappointed in the food. Bread items were stale and not a huge variety to choose from on the buffets. The steak restaurant was good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The Serenity area was very nice. Our Cruise Director, Mikey, did a fantastic job arranging and hosting activities. I really enjoyed the deck parties, and the music trivia held in the Atrium.

Entertainment

DJ was great.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

Excellent service from all.

Ship Quality

It was clean and well-maintained, but the layout was confusing on some decks.

Cabin / Stateroom

It was the perfect size and the beds were heavenly!

Ports of call

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5
We did the Coastal Cruise. We were originally going to do the dune buggies, but it got cancelled with no explanation. The water at this port was beautiful.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
We snorkled here and also rode on an innertube pulled by a fast boat. Beautiful port and very good service.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
Our favorite port on this trip. We went to Oceanworld and swam with the dolphins. Beautiful landscape.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
It was fast an efficient. We elected to carry off our own luggage, but we had to be in the meeting area at 6:30 AM. Would have liked to stay on the ship a little later.
