Review summary

Overall it was a great trip. I had very little expectations going into the trip since it was my first time cruising so maybe I’m biased but the ship and staff were great. The ship was very easy to get around since it’s smaller which was also nice.

Ship tip

Be prepared to relax. The ship doesn’t have a ton to do but it’s totally okay! We had a great time (and didn’t feel guilty for taking a nap everyday and felt like we missed something) Also on sea days GET TO THE POOL EARLY. Due to the ship being small so is the pool and chairs get taken QUICK.

Ports of call

St. John's, Antigua

We didn’t have an excursion booked but I know now for next time, BOOK ONE. Antigua is BEAUTIFUL but the moment you step off the port you’re uncomfortable hounded by locals. We did end up getting a ride to Darkwood Beach but it was $20 per person and then we were kinda stuck at only that beach.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

We did the All Inclusive Coconut Cove Beach Break excursion and it was great! The all inclusive drinks were a little miss leading (very small cups and very small selection) and the ride to the destination was an hour 20 mins in an open vehicle. So the ride was long and dusty but would definitely do it again!
