Review summary

We went for our 25th wedding anniversary and had a really good time.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
It was better than I expected. There were long lines but they lined everyone up based on their time and we were able to move at a reasonable pace.

Ship experiences

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The bolt was fun. I wish that we didn’t have to pay extra to ride it though. You have to reserve a time and pay $15 per person regardless if you are riding together or separately.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
If you want to see any of the comedy shows, I suggest you get there before the previous show ends and get in line. The people that are already in the show will come out and get back in line and you won’t be able to see a thing. They close off the doors after it fills up.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
It’s a beautiful ship. But there are no laundry machines. Only ironing. If you want any laundry service, they provide a small bag, enough for intimates and charge $15 per bag. We stayed in the Havana cabin area. The pool was cold, ice cold. And it’s small. So really you get to enjoy your patio and the bar. But the bar is also used for karaoke.

Ship tip

Walk around. Look at everything. The locations of places you are used to seeing are probably in a different one.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

Disembarkation

Super easy to get out. You go through customs before you get to your luggage.
