Review summary

This was our first cruise and even though I enjoyed the activities and the food, I don't think cruising is for me. I was dizzy the entire time and the last night on the way back it was really rough. I have also felt bad a few days since being home too. So we may or may not try again lol

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Loved the food and drink choices and everything was good. The Seafood shack was fabulous and reasonably priced. I loved Pasta Bella and the Deli especially

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We went to almost all the shows in the Encore theatre and I hate I only saw the Cowboy Comedian once. ( I didn't realize he was leaving halfway thru). Loved the lip sync battle and the 80's glow party. We really didn't do much else as far as activities.

Key West, Florida

3 out of 5

We didn't do an excursion and I didn't find the locals very friendly. We did visit the Audobon Butterfly conservatory that was fabulous and we ate at Sloppy Joes which was good

Thumbs Up 4

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

5 out of 5

No Excursion and I wasn't looking forward to this port but everyone at the port area was so friendly and had fabulous shopping and food.

Thumbs Up 8

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5

I found this port to be dirty and not very friendly. We were hassled pretty heavily by the locals. I wish we had booked an excursion because we would have enjoyed it more.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5

Passengers did not listen to the instructions and people were using the forward elevators so it was hard to get down with our luggage waited on elevator 30 mins

Was ur cabin mid ship ? And not to high level as this helps also take sea sickness meds a few days before you leave .. we have found with some cruises its rough when they are heading back home its full speed ahead and tends to be a bit rocky.. hope if u do decide to try again maybe a short cruise and do all the above see if that helps you ... if not plenty of places to go as long as you enjoy your vacation whatever u choose to do .. thats the most important thing.. enjoy 😉

Did you take any motion sickness medication, pills, seabands or a patch?

I'm sorry to hear that. I've never been affected on the cruise but after my first one was over I felt it for a few days after. That only happened once.
