Review summary

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
we tried the main dining rooms for dinner and it was nothing special. mostly ate at the buffets but there was nothing that was awesome. coffee was just coffee. the drinks were very weak & sometimes the wait to get one was long.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
one pool for thousands of people is TOO small. tried the spa and it was just ok for being very pricey.

Entertainment

did not attend any "shows" on board

Children's Programs

no kids on this trip

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
main dining room staff was polite & attentive. most employees were friendly.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
ship felt clean

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
this cabin felt very small. I would never put more than 2 people in this small space for 9 days.

Ship tip

choose your room wisely

Ports of call

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

3 out of 5
we hung out at Taino Bay , get there early if you want a chair

San Juan, Puerto Rico

3 out of 5
we sauntered off the shop and wandered around near the port. Surrounding streets were full of shops and bars.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten
