I was invited by my daughter's friend's family to join them on this cruise. We departed from Ft. Lauderdale and the transition from the airport to the ship was flawless. I must say that it was a great experience for my first time. The staff was so attentive and polite. Everything had great presentation and my servers at The Golden Pearl were fantastic. Gerald and Dejan were the perfect servers! They made us feel like family and did not miss a beat when it came to our needs. Yusuf was the best host! Enrique made my daughter and I feel right at home and ensured our room was well taken care of in a timely fashion. The food was was absolutely delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed the variety of the different stations and the timing of the setup was perfect. I believe the pizza and soft serve ice cream was the favorite.

The casino was nice, but it is difficult when you are not a smoker, so I did not spend much time there.

The islands chosen to visit were great and I must say Grand Turks was my favorite.

Cabin Review

Cabin 2

The cabin was actually larger than I imagined and i was shocked by the amount of closet space that is provided. Very cozy!

Port Reviews

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata)

I was not a big fan of Amber Cove. I suppose you would have to take an excursion here because there was not much where we docked.
