Review summary

I like the cruise I had never to been to 'Haiti'. Key West is always a fun place to visit. The private island in Haiti is nothing more than an overpriced resort with private cabanas costing up to $600/pp for the day. They did have some local vendors selling souvenirs and such, but they were too pushy for me so we left that area. They had a barbecue lunch for guests, but I didn't eat there as there were flies all over the food. Don't expect to see 'Haiti' (its a private land for RC), but the beaches are nice and it was a great spot to relax for the day.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was OK, wish they would have changed up the menu a bit in the main dining room...served almost the same things everyday

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Shows were good, loved the fitness classes. Did not use the pools

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Shows were good, and most of the entertainment was ok. The Caribbean band was rubbish...no energy, boring

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Staff was fantastic as usual

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Really liked the layout of the ship; easy to get around. The ship itself really need some serious maintenance..nothing but a rust bucket. Everywhere you look you could tell how old the ship is.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Cabin was clean and comfortable. Again concern about rust around windows inside and out
