Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining room service was not very good. It used to be great. Hoping this is a fluke on this trip. Lido market was very good Dive-In was VERY slow service, 15 to 45 minutes to get a hot dog or burger. They need to fix this. New York Deli was very skimpy on meats on sandwiches, pizza was ok, about par for cruise ships.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pool and hot tubs were above average. Most days no problem getting a lounge chair or drink. Never overcrowded in the pool.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows were great and music around the ship was very good.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

Made up stop. Lots of stores and not much else. We don’t much care for the D.R. So it may just be us.

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
Always like Curaçao. Took a local tour. Had a good time.

Kralendijk, Bonaire

4 out of 5
Lots of construction in the port. Did not stay but about an hour.

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
Again we like Aruba. Took a local tour had a great time.
