Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was was clean. We were told when booking that we had a picture window, but it was a porthole, but one thing about it, we didn't have much rocking when the sea was rough. Good thing I took extra hangers with us. Cruise ships are notorious for not supplying enough.

Ports of call

Key West, Florida

We always enjoy Key West. We did not take a tour because we have been there several times.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
We have been to Puerto Plata four times. We stayed on board the ship.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

It was the first time in 20 years that we visited St. Thomas. We enjoyed our excursion.

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
Aruba was everything we expected. Enjoyed our excursion to the Aloe field.

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
First time in Curacao. It was beautiful. Wish we had gone into the city on our own. Our excursion of just ok. There were several people on our bus you has walkers. When the tour was over, we were left in the middle of town to walk back to the ship or hire a taxi which was not explained in the brochure.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
We did not take an excursion. We walked into town. Had lunch and shopped. This was our first time to Grand Cayman. We were booked 3 other times to visit, but weather prevented us from tendering into port. We were excited to finally make it.

Disembarkation
