Review summary

Very relaxing cruise. Ports of call. Don't feel as safe on DR. DO NOT book ATV excursion. You only get 2, 10 minute runs on very dusty back roads. Grand Truf was awesome. We always feel safe on Grand Turk. We didn't even book an excursion, just hung out the beach. The water was awesome. Get a lounge chair early.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Everyone arrived at same time. Scheduled times weren't enforced. People waiting in heat without multiple watering points.

Ship Quality

Didn't like having to walk through casino to get to all entertainment. Last day center elevators were shutdown for luggage movement. Most other ships use cargo elevators in crew area for this.

Other cruises leave your luggage tags in your room. On this ship you have to go to Lido deck to get your luggage tags. If you don't get there you get the very late disembarkation time.
