Review summary

Overall, very nice cruise....pricey for what you actually get. Somewhat shocked at all the additional expenses besides the trip cost. This particular cruise is not designed for children...mainly couples and older travelers.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy and efficient.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Dining rooms and buffets were very good. Disappointed in non-alcoholic beverage choices. Only tea, coffee, and water were included in the cruise price......juice and soda were an upcharge and required an additional "package" purchase. Room service also was an additional charge....very disappointing.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Beautiful pool and spas. Great movies every night on the big screen. Wonderful shows.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Ship tip

Make sure to check the food and beverage options very closely.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
Easy to get in and out of before and after the cruise.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

3 out of 5
Amber Cove was okay, nothing to write home about. Limited activities, dirty, and once inside the city... people were poverty stricken.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Clean and very nice...plenty to do.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and painless.

What were the additional charges? I'm doing this cruise in 3wks and now somewhat nervous about extras!
