Review summary

I paid far more money for this cruise than I’ve paid for any other and there was no WOW factor to this boat! It was disappointing. The only entertainment that would keep you awake was the casino. The pool was very crowded you had to find a tiny spot to squeeze in The pool was small. Anything else was very expensive to do

Ship Quality

I don’t think the ship was grand at all. Too closed in and no open atrium.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

3 out of 5
Small. Nothing to do and had to stand in long lines to get back. I feel that they overloaded the tender boats. A lot of people had to stand and a girl even passed out

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

Shore excursion was nice but the chairs were $40 for 2 hours. By the time we got there we had to take what was left. The chairs are so close together did not like it
Thumbs Up

San Juan, Puerto Rico Did not visit port

No interest

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic Did not visit port

Had an excursion planned but when booked was not aware that it took 2 hrs to get there and 2 hrs back. Lost our money as we did not want to travel that long on a bus and catamaran
