Review summary

Overall we had just about perfect weather, rhe staff was wonderful. Our cabin staff, Roni & Paul, greeted all of us by name anytime we saw them in thr hallways, it felt very caring and kind. They were both very attentive and answered my room questions. The itinerary left outsidr the door each day was also very nice to have, since it had updates to excursions and ports. For the games/gameshows, Diana, Tomas, and Noah wwre all very enthusiastic and fun.

The cabin didnt have a ton of walking space but we did choose the cheapest room. The shower is nice and spacious. It was great having a large closet as well.

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
We embarked from this port, they were very efficient in getting us onto the ship.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island) Did not visit port

Power outage, we rerouted to Bimini

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
The resort was lovely and the water was gorgeous. The shpps had some really nice souvenirs as well. Unfortunately, our excursion was canceled due to wind and weather forecast.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
The pool was really nice, they had water slides, ziplining, and hammocks. We did get to the beach but I wish it hsd been walking distance, qe had to hire a cab to get to the city.

Key West, Florida

5 out of 5
Water excursion info was readily available on the walk down the port. We took a nice train tour through the island, and it was available all day to transport us wherever.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We were able to get out quickly but it would've beennnicee if the schedule had been on our room tvs, or readily available on each floor. I had to run to the 3rd floor to read the schedule, not knowing that people were being called by their luggage tag color. I hadn't printed mine in color because it wasn't specified that it was necessary, since there were codes and my room number listed.
