Review summary

Overall it was fun and relaxing. Friendly crew and entertainment very colourful and a great variety. The cruise director Matt is the best we’ve had so far from all cruise lines we’ve been to.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
It was just OK. Food is lacking quality. For breakfast it was the same thing everyday. Main dining could do way better. Waiters were going crazy doing everything at the same time.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We went to all shows in the Liquid Lounge. The pool needs nore activities and better music. At times, we were bored. Who plays country music in a cruise?? The moment they switch to latin music and more caribbean style songs people starting clapping and looked happier.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Performes did a good job. Watch out for the sound. In some occassions, from the top you coulb barely listen to the singers.

Ship tip

Be aware that elevators take forever and sometimes you have to wait a few times to get in. Consider stairs.

Ports of call

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

3 out of 5
The excursion took us the a place you could tell no one liked. We did downtown and beach. When we arrived to the beach there was a fee for an umbrella after we were told everything was included. I did not want to expose my baby so we paid. They need to be more specific, not lie just for selling.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
We did not do much as we just were here last summer

Basseterre, St. Kitts

3 out of 5
We went to the beach. It was just OK. The trip took about 30 minutes for $7 one way. You have to go early otherwise you won’t find chair ans shades.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Beautiful beaches! Stunning! Loved the white sand and the fact that all stores and a Margaritaville is right there for you.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Elevators and the distribution of the ship made it frustrating. After that, fast.
