Review summary

I was worried about the age of the ship but it was lovely. The entertainment was great and there was a good variety of activities. Our room (1610) was a great location, clean, and plenty of room. The toiletries are a 3-1 body wash/shampoo/conditioner so definitely bring your own.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

So incredibly easy. We had an issue with a name mix up (two in our party have the same name) and they fixed it quickly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Loved our window seat. The food was okay. Had a couple of things we really liked and others that were not great.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Pool was super crowded as expected on a sold out ship. We love our trivia and liked they did several in the bigger venue (I think it was On Air) instead of cramming into the Schooner Bar.

Ship Quality

It is older but it was very clean and well kept. I was expecting it to show its age more based on reviews but was pleasantly surprised.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Was worried we would hear lots of noise being under the pool deck but it was soooo quiet. The blinds were not blackout but not sure if this was by design or because they were worn. We LOVED the location so close to the pool and Windjammer. Our cabin attendant was fantastic and the cabin was clean and comfortable. The sofa bed is a little tight for two teenagers but workable.

Ports of call

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

4 out of 5

Loved the port with the pool. Long walk back from excursion drop off. We did the waterfall/zip line and it was great. The hike however was no joke. Definitely showed how out of shape I am. Waterfalls were neat but they kinda shove you down to keep everyone moving. As with most excursions it was pretty crowded
