Staff was an 11 out of 10. Excellent staff!!!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Not enough direction on the ship especially when getting off the elevators.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Very small, we understand why though. Two people cannot get ready at the same time without bumping into reach other.

Ship tip

The ship is old and it shows.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida Did not visit port

We got on the ship and off the ship here.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

4 out of 5
Very nice port. Beach was awesome but not much else to do.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
We love this port! We will go back. Lot of places to see and plenty of restaurants and shops.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

4 out of 5
We did an excursion but we ran out of time to finish it. We never got to ride the sky ride because it was too crowded and our ship was leaving.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

3 out of 5
No beach access in Amber Cove. There is a pool but we didn’t realize it until we came back to the ship. Need more direction from staff members.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Quick and easy but needs more direction. It was confusing as to whether you could take your bags with you. It was too late by the time we found out we could carry our bags with us instead of waiting in line.
