easy and fast

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We ate at the three specialty restaurants - our two favorites were the Crown Steak House and the French restaurant. We had great service and food was delicious. Main dining rooms provided excellent service and excellent food. Buffet is an alternate option. Not my favorite but my partner loved it!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Entertainment

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Waiters were great especially Rama from the French restaurant. Also Ali from the photo department was a great help to us. We wouldn't have been able to download our pictures without her

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Although everything appeared spotless, I still came home with covid - only negative of the trip

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
.Cabin type was a mini suite, cabin number was M206 Spacious and spotless. Great steward

Ship tip

Make sure you arrange your dining schedule around the shows. We missed several good shows because they conflicted with our dinner reservations which were made in advance

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida Did not visit port

Have been there may times before

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5
A relaxing day. Food was adequate. No excursions

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
At first it was overwhelming for us. Cobblestone uphill streets which we were not able to navigate, however, we found an independent taxi driver who drove us on a tour of the city. He was excellent and let us sop to take pictures and see whatever sites we wanted to see.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
Great new shopping area which we enjoyed. We did not take any excursions

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Great beach and again lots of new shops - Again we did not do any excursions

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy despite 1/2 hour unanticipated delay
