Review summary

Very nice ship. Entertainment was great! Staff was awesome! Food was mediocre. Pool was extremely crowded. Deal or No Deal and Bingo were very pricey. The general entertainment on the ship (not venues) were very good. The venues (Howl at the Moon and comedy shows) were excellent.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Efficient, but long with that many people

Departed and returned here

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

Went to the “Emotions” resort. Was not worth the price. Tons of vendors walking around bugging you every few minutes to buy stuff (rocks, jewelry, hats, foot massages etc.) This was pretty annoying.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Went to Coral reef. It was small, but cool and had a wonderful beach.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

Docked so early that most shops were closed and it was a very short stop.
