Ship tip

Get all information to understand your benefits before the cruise. Ask all about them, cost, timing, etc.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

4 out of 5
Efficient port area.

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

Disappointing. We were told that seas were too rough for the tender boats.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

4 out of 5
Walked around the waterfront and through Charlotte Amelia. Pleasant.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
Self guided walking tour through Old San Juan was great. Do some research before doing a self guided tour.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic Did not visit port

Disappointing. Visited Nassau instead.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Still waits and long lines to disembark. Once the line started moving after a long wait things went smooth enough.
