Review summary

The first three days for my family was very unsatisfying. The weather was not at its best, we where not allowed to be on the exterior of the ship for the first day, the dining arrangements where messed up, and some of the staffs where not very plight. Once we got to Florida my experience got a lot better. All the issues I had was fixed, and I start having some fun. My favorite stop was Cococay Bahamas. Also when you want some peace and quiet to unwind go the Solarium at the back of the ship. I also love having lunch at the Two70 dinner, very clean and great sandwiches.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food was good, the problems I had was. First I didn't find anywhere I could eat after 1am. Second they messed up our dining arrangements. My family was assigned to three different tables and it took three days to fix that issue. Over all the quality of the food was good according to my taste and comparing to my past cruises.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The ship is full of activities to do. I really enjoyed the high fly (sky diving simulator) and will love to do it again. the north star is great I recommend booking before you get on broad. The swinging pools are pretty nice, i really enjoyed the indoor one when out side was too cold. My daughter was too young for the bumper cars but my older kids spent a lot of time in that area. They enjoyed the basketball and soccer playing.

Vitality at Sea Spa

5 out of 5

My mom and wife loved the spa, they thought the staff was very knowledgeable and enjoyed the facials. I had a great time in the gym, only that I needed to be careful when the ship was moving. I was also surprise to find that they had 90 pound dumbbells.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Amazing shows I seen the Gift and spectra both get a 10 out of 10. I missed rock of ages but i here'd good things also. The singers and musician where very good and they take request,

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
I don't know what they do there but my daughter loved going to the adventure ocean kids activity center.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Most of the staff tried there best to be friendly. I think my issue was the organization overall. For example the way my families dining arrangements got mixed up and it took two days to fix, some of the staff look angry when you try to discus a issue with them but they try to hide it. They really need to get this ship better organized before its too late.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I'm use to bigger ships, still nothing is lost on this ship it is beautiful. The design is a perfect mixture of elegance and fun.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I always get the superior balcony on most of my cruises. On this ship my room felt more spacious, with a bigger bathroom than I ever got on any other ship. The attendant did a great job keeping it clean.

Ship tip

i will recommend booking your activities online before you cruise.

Ports of call

Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey

3 out of 5
I only broad the ship here didn't do any excursions.

Port Canaveral, Florida

3 out of 5
I went to the coco beach for this port. I don't recommend doing this. It might be best to do disney or universal studios.

Cococay (Cruise Line's Private Island)

5 out of 5
I use this port for my beach day. It is a very fun port with lots of activities and a clean beach, plenty of foods and drinks on this beach. Also there was a live band rocking the people on the beach.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
There is only one thing to do at this port, visit the atlantis hotel. i recommend do the tour of this hotel. the aquarium is very nice, a great chance to get up close with some sharks. I will also recommend to avoid the city, it seems very congested.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
The line for the TSA was crazy long. hope that gets fixed.
