Cabin / Stateroom

We enjoyed the Deluxe Oceanview cabin. Having the extra wash room is the best way to go.

Ship tip

If you aren't going with a balcony or suite cabin, get the Deluxe Oceanview.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

5 out of 5
One of my favorite cities. I love walking the French Quarter and visiting Cafe du Monde for beignets and chicory coffee.

Key West, Florida

3 out of 5
We did the Hop On and Off tour. The wait to hop back on was 45 minutes at one of the stops. There was a long wait at the 90 mile marker. I wish we'd rented the dune buggies to go it ourselves instead of all the list time waiting.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

4 out of 5
Spent my 40th birthday doing a 12 mile bike ride across the island. Our guide was great. The ride wasn't difficult, just hot! We stopped for lunch and then continued by van to the beach for about 2 hours and then back to the port for shopping.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Atlantis was amazing! We had one of the best experiences of any water park we've ever been to. It was so much more than a waterpark. We were able to swim in the ocean, paddle board, and enjoy all of the water park attractions.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Rated 5 stars but really this is a tough one. They made me leave, so it's hard to praise them for that!

That's good to hear. I am scheduled to embark June 24th out of Galveston, TX. Hopefully the legal issues won't affect my family vacation.
