Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

I was never disappointed with the variety and quality of the food. My 15 year old son who is extremely fussy tried new foods and loved them all.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

I wish they had more entertainment in the evening. However, the entertainment was very good! The games were great.

Children's Programs

3 out of 5

My kids loved the program - however, my 12 year old son would have liked to have seen more activities earlier in the day - otherwise I would have rated excellent.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I found the staff to be very accommodating. Our room steward was fantastic! He always took care of our needs very quickly. They came in at least twice a day to clean. The cruise director was a blast!!! Great sense of humor!!

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

We went to Blue Lagoon just for the beach day. I wouldn't recommend going unless you go to the dolphin encounter and/or you have children. My kids loved it. It was just ok for husband and I.
