Review summary

Very enjoyable and relaxing cruise. It is so easy to cruise out of JAX; port is easy to get to, park and embark. We had an extra day and a half because of Hurricane Nicole, and the captain gave us regular updates and kept us well away from the storm. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Igede was our room steward, and he was excellent. We had different wait staff with your-time dining, but they all were very good.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The layout was good, except getting to the serenity area was a little difficult. All areas were clean and well maintained, despite the age of the ship

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Room was comfortable. The shower is very small. There is very little storage space in the bathroom.
