Great trip on active ship with good port stops. The cruise director Lewis made the trip sucessful.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
MDR staff attentive and professional. Fortunately for the cruise, the menu was restored to previous content after numerous complaints on both Cruise Critic and letters to executives.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Constant list of activities from skills challenges, dance lessons, putting on real grass, glass blowing and bocce.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Overall excellent- there were two production shows which besides singers and dancers has some acrobatic acts. The 2 comedians were OK, the singer and magician were great and the highlight was a Neil Diamond Tribute show. The cruise director Lewis was constantly around and on game. He had shows at 7 and 10 and as a bonus 10:15 shows.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
All staff was attentive.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Once you got used to the ships layout, navigation was simple and straightforward. All areas were clean and well maintained, and if you were looking for rust- you really had to look for it.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Even with concierge level, the room was still the same balcony size which seemed a little tight, plus limited draw space. The two large storage areas over the bed made up for lack of drawers.
Ship tip
Figure out the benefits of the different options like concierge, aqua and suites against costs.
Took best of Puerto Plata which stopped at rum distillery, cigar factory and chocolate factory plus some historic sites and local shopping. This tour took 6 hours which I thought was one hour too long.
