Review summary

We did not have to worry about anything on this trip. It was a great first experience. We never ran out of things to do, or eat. I would do it again in an instant. The staff was great and attentive. Joey at the Gastrobar made our evening exciting. Dan the cruise director kept things fresh and exciting. Can't wait to do it again.

Silent Disco was the highlight. Saw the magician, shows, trivia, Game shows and more. The game shows was another before dinner must.

Everyone was so friendly and helpful.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was always clean. I never knew what direction the front or back was but had fun getting lost and finding new things.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Our stateroom was good. Michael did a terrific job of keeping it tidy. The balcony was a great place to have breakfast.

Ship tip

Download the app! We used the app multiple times a day for events, location of things, menus.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
The port was a well oiled machine. We did the Big Bus Tour (hop-on/hop-off) in Miami. It was a huge waste of time and money. The buses were old with broken PA systems, the stops were not places I would want to get off the bus.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
The port was nice and clean. We did the old/new San Juan Tour. The guide was great, we explored the fort and other area around San Juan.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
This was our favorite. The port was so welcoming. We used the Island Girl Ferry to travel over to St. John and snorkel at Truck Bay. I cannot say enough nice things about Island Girl and this excursion.

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic Did not visit port

Due to weather, we were rerouted to Samana, DR. We did get off the boat and tendered to shore. There wasn't much to do here, we had a quick stroll and waited in line for a boat to bring us back to the ship.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
The port was very dirty. The high present of local authority was nice to see. We spend the day at Atlantis, there was plenty to do, and much we didn't have time to do.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
READ TO THE END: This was another experience that was quick and easy. Even with a fire drill delaying things, our disembarkation was quick. We used the luggage valet program, which was a great treat HOWEVER my only complaint, our bags were lefts in the rain, judging by our content inside, ALL DAY. We had documents, printed pictures and mementos RUINED from the rain. EVERYTHING IN OUR BAGS WERE SOAKED LIKE THEY TOOK A DIP IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN.
