Review summary

During the cruise, I decided to go without Internet, media, and news resources; it was one of the best decisions that I have made. The staff were great, especially our cabin steward.

Well organized process.

Ship experiences

Even without dinning reservation, we didn't have any problems getting a table.

I enjoyed the peace and quiet on the ship the most.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The B. B. King Blues Club was great! The main stage had very good shows, but you had to get there 30 minutes before the show to get a good seat.

Thumbs Up 4

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

4 out of 5

Instead of booking an excursion, we paid for a local taxi to take us around the area at a fourth of the cost.

Thumbs Up 3

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5

An excursion was the best way to get an overview of the area. Afterward, we walked around on our own.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

The Global Entry program allowed us to bypass the long line through Customs; well worth the money.
