Review summary

The port terminal is a beautiful building,but not a good functioning one.They put all the money into the look,but forgot about all the people that would be using the building and only put in one bathroom each for men and women.I really hope they fix this issue sooner rather than later.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
The terminal and embarkation went pretty smooth and we were on the ship in about an hour for the three of us.The cruise terminal is an esthetic beauty,however,having just one bathroom each for men and women,when there are hundreds of people waiting to get in the ship is ridiculous.This issue needs to be fixed rather sooner than later.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Cagney’s was amazing,the staff and food in the Garden Cafe were great.We ate at Q and as usual,were really happy with the food and staff.The food in Savor was good and the staff was very good.We ate lunch in American Diner and the pork sliders were good,however,my burger was well under cooked,not the way I ordered it.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We did the go carts and laser tag.They were both very entertaining.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The comedians were funny,Choir of Men and Kinky Boots,both were amazing.

Children's Programs

No kids with us

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward Bernard was very good and attentive.The staff as a whole were very good and accommodating and attentive.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship’s design was easy to get around and the cleaning staff did an amazing job keeping things clean and sparkling.The only complaint and not the fault of cleaning crew,was the some of the soap and towel dispensers were very temperamental or didn’t work at all.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was clean and comfortable with plenty of room to move around.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
We did a fishing trip

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
We’ve been to the island before,we didn’t get off this time,since we were doing spa treatments at the time we were there.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
We’ve been there a handful of times and love the island.We did an amazing race like excursion and had a great time.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

5 out of 5
We liked the port and did a jeep and beach adventure.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
It was good and we did an off-road buggy and beach tour that was fun.I wasn’t overly enthusiastic about the armed personnel everywhere though!

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
It was slow and rather unorganized.We were in line for early disembarkation,when security changed how they wanted us to line up,so people that had just come down to line up were pushed to the front and those of us that got up early,were pushed towards the back.Once,out it was a quick taxi and we were at the airport.
