Review summary

Generally had a great time. The ship is fantastic and very big. We didn’t ride Bolt because one had to reserve a time slot and come back. The Hub app was very helpful in scheduling food and entertainment. You have to be ok with crowds because it’s so hard to find a seat. There are so many guests that have no consideration of others. They walk in front of you , they stop in the pathways and check their phones and are simply rude. No fault of the ship but it’s awful frustrating when you’re trying to make your way. Look out for people on scooters. They’re everywhere. It seems they were either overbooked or the paths are too narrow. The ship was clean and super nice otherwise.

A tad small but we got used to it. No problems.

Ship tip

Be aware of the scooters everywhere. There were 6000 people or seems so. It was super crowded and a lot of waiting in line. The best time we could actually breathe a sigh of relief was when most people left the ship in Nasau. We stayed on and was way less crowded and could actually find a chair around the pool.

Ports of call

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic
