Entertainment

Went on this cruise January 2022. Unfortunately COVID had affected some of the entertainment staff so they had alter some of original plans, but still did a great job.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Paid for the Vibe for the first time, well worth it. Curly and Sam were friendly and attentive, bring us drinks at our lounges before we even had a chance to reorder! Have to mention, due to COVID the ship was only occupied at about 25% normal capacity, which was for us a plus! Room steward was friendly and room was kept neat throughout the cruise.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Newer ship at the time we sailed so quite sparkly and clean throughout!

Ship tip

Enjoy the shows, loved the entertainment

Ports of call

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

4 out of 5
Private island is quite nicely done with plenty of lounge chairs, pool etc. have to pay extra for food and drinks while on island. Also I kind of miss going to destinations that are not on mainland where you can experience the local flavor. But still a beautiful beach experience overall if that’s what you like.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

We have already been told we will not be stopping at Great Stirrup Cay. Why did you have to pay for food and drinks here. Food should be free and drinks would be free if you have the drink package. Food and drinks are not free at Harvest Caye
