Review summary

Great weather so smooth sailing. Absolutely no announcements but music over speakers was loud so it was difficult to find a good quiet area.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Arrived at the port early, got our red wrist band immediately but then nowhere to go. Sent off to a nearby mall to wait for boarding time!?!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food court; no buffet. No turkey: I don't eat pork or beef. Thankfully there was chicken and seafood. A veritable paradise for vegans and vegetarians. A must to book dining venues beforehand

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Didn't do much. Glad there was trivia which I enjoyed

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Stage shows were too circus-y for my taste.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Fabulous staff; very multi-cultural. Friendly, helpful

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
As usual, takes some time to find your way around and there was plenty of signs. Cleaning was going on all the time

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
In general, the cabin size was fine. Changing from queen to twin made the layout weird. Very hi tech but couldn't get the tablet to function well (thermostat/lights etc.) Bathroom was tiny; thankfully the shower size was adequate but not much room for the rest

Ship tip

Be tech-savvy as almost everything is done via an app

Ports of call

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

Piece of cake
