Ship tip

Make reservations for everything, from restaurants to entertainment as soon as you get onboard as everything books quickly. We missed a lot of r tertsinment because we didn’t know that. We ended up with buffet a few nights because we couldn’t get dinner reservation until after 9pm

Ports of call

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

3 out of 5
Small port and two large ships were in port at same time, extremely crowded. Early departure so we didn’t take an excursion.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas Did not visit port

Waves were too high to allow for tenders, this is always one of my favorite stops, disappointed but safety first.
