Review summary

This is a big boat. I was concerned about being sea sick but had no issues at all. The staff is very attentive and are willing to go the extra mile when asked. We had breakfast in our room twice which was fun to do. I simply do not have anything bad to say about our experience. Plus, using the phone app onboard really did make navigation a breeze.

We watched a comedian, did music trivia, and watched live performers by the pool. All were very well done!

No kids

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
All the staff was professional. Wish they had a few more bartenders available during peak hours as we did have to stand in line quite a bit.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Beautiful ship. First cruise so I can't compare to others but this one was top notch.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very nice room. Being able to watch the wake was fantastic.

Ship tip

Even if you purchase the package with tips included, take some cash to tip those who go above and beyond. They appreciate it!

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
Very organized and easy to board the ship.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
We took the water taxi to the private island. It was clean and relatively easy to navigate.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
We did not do any excursion here but the downtown area is very clean. We enjoyed it.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
The port was very clean. We did an excursion to a private beach. They warned us about a bumpy ride and it WAS bumpy. The beach was nice but nothing special.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
We did the tour of the island with rum tasting and beach time at Governor's beach. This was the best beach on the trip. Very clean and taken care of.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It could have not been any easier. Our luggage was already in the terminal. We retrieved it, went to the airport shuttle and had no issues at all.
