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

4 out of 5
DJ was great.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Excellent service from all.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
It was clean and well-maintained, but the layout was confusing on some decks.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
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.
