Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was the perfect size. The bed was comfortable, we had the king bed, and our room steward was beyond wonderful! He always kept the room clean and well stocked, addressed every question we had with professionalism and a smile, and from day 1, always remembered our names. Amazing job!

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
This is where we boarded the Mardi Gras

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
Puerto Rico was wonderful. We did an excursion and I wish we didn't. It wasn't worth the money to be poolside when I could've done that while on the ship. I would've rather gone to old San Juan, shopped and ate food.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
This was by far my favorite island! We did an excursion. The guide, Hugo and driver Jesus were superb.

Grand Turk Island

2 out of 5
This port was very straight forward! You get off the cruiseliner and the beach is there. Pure perfection (the beach) but...the island itself was completely under developed, there wasn't much to see besides rubble everywhere, stray dogs and donkeys EVERYWHERE and super expensive. Not what I was expecting. Btw...there should be a sign that says that we are not allowed to bring shells back from the island. We spend our time diving and swimming for these beautiful shells for them to be taken from us! Not fair!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth sailing!
