Review summary

Weather was poor, some rain and high winds made for some rocky days and nights. Unable to stop at three islands two because of COVID and one because the weather was to rough. They find another stop for us at the Sugar port of La Rome in the DR.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Would give it a 5 but taking a test at the pier was a pain and another thing to worry about!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Every thing was great, food hot and tasty and happy the buffet was opened early.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Lucky in the Casino! First time ever.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Watched two shows and both were very upbeat and enjoyable.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Every member from the bar tenders to the room steward were very nice and friendly. If they didn’t have a mask on I’m sure they all had a big smile on their face.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Liked the easy flow of the ship, easy to get around and interactive maps at the end of the hallways to look up Restaurants or What’s happening and location.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Great size for two and nice deck to go out on.

Ship tip

Explore everything, eat everything, drink everything! Relax and remember when we couldn’t cruise!
