Review summary

Just not my cup of tea. But you don’t know up until you try. The activities were just not of interest for the most part. The crew were all very wonderful though.

Most of the food very good.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Not enough hands on activities. If you don’t gamble mostly just sit and listen to music or speakers. Fitness center very crowded. Would have liked more hands on, like painting or drawing classes

Disappointed in how manufactured the port is. A new country for me, but no opportunity to really explore. Excursions not of interest and or too expensive

Grand Turk Island

Took a taxi to what was to be a better snorkeling beach, but too wavy. We didn’t want to pay to go out on a boat.
