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.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Other than the main dining room service was terrific.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Well maintained and spotless. Always people cleaning and servicing the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
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.
