We stayed the night before and explored the beach. It was great.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
Little something for everyone. We went down the beach and found some chairs and pulled them back into the trees to sit. The beach is gorgeous.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
One of my favorite stops. I have been before. We walked down the beach and paid half of what was being asked for 2 chairs and umbrella.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
Port is new and beautiful. Nice big pool which was free. No easy beach access. That was a bummer.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Port is okay. Not as nice as the others.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We walked off with our luggage. We waited close to the last departure time. It was easy to get off even with all of our luggage.
