Review summary
Would only recommend this cruise if English is your second language. This cruise was 90-95% foreign travelers. All announcements were in Italian first, followed by English, French, and German. Entertainment was in Italian and then translated in the different languages. (loses something in the translation)
Be ready to pay additional charges for most "usual" things offered on cruise ships: coffee and tea other than meal times, steak or lobster at dinner, ice cream, pizza, etc.....
Cabins are nice and clean, however, no turn down service at night.
Very little variety of food. Our dinner servers were great and efficient. Sit down service at breakfast and lunch was slow. Self serve breakfast and lunch was the same thing everyday.
We enjoyed the ports of call. We had a change in the itinerary due to rough seas, instead of Amber Cove we stopped in La Romana. Had a great time being spontaneous after we docked at 7 PM in La Romana and shared a cab with others on the ship.
We were able to disembark earlier and quickly went through customs.
