Review summary

We were very happy to visist ST. THOMAS, TOROTOLA, ST MARTIN AND SAN JUAN. The cruise line, at the last moment, changed its last port of call to the island of SAMANA DOMINICAN REPUB. What were they thinking?? Not a port of call to brag about. Dirty water, dirty surroundings, dirty people, ( scary people too!) . I cant help but wonder what the cruise line was thinking when they brought us there!!! All in all, the majority of our cruise was wonderful. The four other islands were sights to see. Great people great beaches great shopping. Would recommend.

Pros: THE SHIP MOST OF THE PORTS OF CALL THE DIFFERENT PEOPLE

Cons: THE ISLAND OF SAMANA, NOT A SCHEDULED STOP, THE CRUISE LINE CHANGED TOTHIS ISLAND LAST MINUTE, NOT A PLACE WHERE I WOULD SEND A-N-Y-O-N-E THIRD WORLD LIVING CONDITIONS NOT A PLACE FOR A SHIP TO BRING ITS PASSANGERS
