Review summary

Just what we wanted. Traveling with friend who was cruising for the first time. This ship was bigger that than my first cruise. Would conclude that I prefer ships in the mid-class in size. Did have an enjoyable time. Excellent variety of beef served in the dining room almost every night. Cooked to perfection, med-rare.

Nassau, Bahamas

Very nice experience. Variety of places to go on the island unfortunately the tide was going out as we arrived. Shallow swimming with limited snorkeling unless you are willing to go beyond the designated beaches which I did. Saw an incredible variety of fish and several clusters of sea fans growing.

Disembarkation

Best ever, Short and sweet wonderful transfer to and from EWR.
