Review summary

Cruise and ship we great. Cruise Director Kyndall Fire was awesome best cruise director by far that we have ever had on any cruise

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy my time to embark was 1030 but got there at 11 walked right on ship. Parked at port you pull up they take luggage you park in garage and it's a short walk into terminal.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Havana Pool

3 out of 5

Disappointed in area compared to other Havana pools. It had 1 small pool no hot tubs like other Havana's I've stayed in. Also no pads on loungers but up in serenity the have padded loungers and it's a free adult area.

Atrium

4 out of 5

This area gets very crowded hard to find a seat and lots of objects to look around to see stage. Could've been reduced in size and theater size increased. There were many shows in this area that should've been held in theater

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Mardi Gras Theater

4 out of 5

Theater very small for amount of passengers we had to show up 30 minutes early wait in line to get seat and many people standing in back

Punchliner Comedy Club

5 out of 5

Loved all the comedians

Service and Staff

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship very clean and maintained. Addressed design issues in previous sections

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin steward was great we pick morning service and everything perfect towel animal everyday

Ship tip

Take stairs if you can elevators a joke. Many times we would wait 10 minutes for elevator then people would rush ahead of you and then you would have to wait for another one. We took stairs as much as we could unless it was 5 floors up.

Ports of call

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

I don't know what was going on but disembarking for people who put luggage outside door was supposed to start at 8am but didn't start till 1030. I heard many rumors about people going down gangway before their time???
