The ship was fun but definitely in need of some repairs, the staff was excellent as always. The food was good but the coffee was the worst I've ever drank on any ship and I've been on a few. The shows were great, the casino was small but fun but it was very smoky. The cabin Stewarts were great and they always cleaning somewhere in the area but very quite. The restaurant was really great too with the food and service with some really great deserts.

The ports were great with the exception of Dominican Republic it was a 3rd world country at best. I was shopping a block from the park when I was a approached by a police officer, he ask if I spoke English, I said yes he says it is not safe for you here go back to the park where you were dropped off. I complied and returned to the park and left on the next bus because of the harassment of the vendors. I heard very few people that enjoined the port for many o0f the same reasons. Aruba well it was just awesome, I can see why so many people vacation there.

Everything considered I'd do it again tomorrow but I'm a working man.

Cabin Review

Ocean View

Cabin 6B

Clean but tattered and worn, the bed was maybe the best on any ship to date.

Port Reviews

Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)

Clean and fairly quick to get on the ship, disembarkation was slow and took forever, several people missed flights.

Grand Turk

We just shopped and walked the beach.

La Romana (Casa de Campo)

We took a bus to go shopping which was a joke with the vendors hounding you relentlessly, we left this area and were a block away when I was approached by a policeman and told that it wasn't safe for us there to go back to the park so we just went back to the ship.

Curacao

Shopped and walked the city it was very nice.
