Review summary

We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise. It would have been nice to have some more sunshine and less wind, but we still had a very nice time.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was very smooth. However, if you drove I recommend using Go Port for parking. Much cheaper and a great option.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was all very good with so many options to choose from.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There are a great variety of options. If you are bored, it is your fault. The only issue was the hot tub was more like a heated poiol and not very hot and the pool was very cold.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
There was a jazz trio that was outstanding. Lots of very good shows. Again, if you are bored, it is your fault.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
very good service by staff members. Not quite as good as I remember from our last cruise 4 years ago.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
everything was great

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Would definitely do a balcony cabin again.

Ship tip

It takes a while to get your bearings, but it was very well designed. Enjoy all the new people that you will meet.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Was very windy so it was harder to enjoy the beach.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
This was our favorite. We did the waterfall tour. Very strenuos hike to get top the water falls, but definitely a highlight.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Our only complaint was that we had rented a golf cart to get around the island and they canceled it the night before so we could not make any other plans for another option.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth. We wwere several hours late due to a medical emergency of oner of the guests and we had to make an unplanned stop on the way back in the Bahamas.
