Review summary

I would do this cruise again in a heart beat. The only thing I would do different is get a room with a balcony and go on different shore excursions.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We only did one tour via the cruise line - a tour of Puerto Rico. Wonderful. We booked another tour in St. Maarten with a different company. It was awesome!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Everything was wonderful. They even cater to anyone with food sensitivities, such gluten free and sugar free requirements.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The pools inside and outside were pristine and very nice.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
All the shows were great. We attended nearly all of the ones in the main theater and each one was worth going to.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward was amazing. The waiters could not have been nicer. All staff greeted you with a smile and was willing to take the time to speak with anyone.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
There are a few areas where some rehab (scarred tables, peeling wallpaper) might be in order, but overall the ship was spotless and they were very diligent to keep in keeping it that way.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had a porthole cabin. It was quite nice and had plenty of space and storage. The room steward was the best!

Ship tip

Bring your own resusable water bottle. You can fill it at the pool cafe.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
This is where we checked in and out of the cruise. No excursion. Getting on and off the ship went quite quickly.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
Loved seeing Old San Juan. We did a jeep tour that was well worth it. We loved seeing parts of the island.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
We just walked around the port here. Not much to see. We probably should have booked an excursion.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
We had the most fun here! We went on a tour that took us to both the French and Dutch side of the island. It was beautiful!

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

5 out of 5
We just hung out at the port. Not big, but lots of nice places to shop for souvenirs.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
My favorite port! They have a pool and lazy river that you can use for free. Lots and lots of stores! Much more than any other port. This was a great stop. You did not even have to leave the port to enjoy the stop there.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We were scheduled to disembark at 8am. By 8:10 we had our bags and by 8:20 we were on the road going home.
