Serenity deck was very relaxing!

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Wish there were more stage shows, but the 80's music was great! Visited the comedian, karaoke, and piano bar...we always love the piano bar, was closed 3 of the 8 nights we were on board.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
our steward Hans on deck 2 was beyond wonderful!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was very clean, and maintained each day

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
This was the first time we have been an oceanview at the very back of the ship. I don't mind the rocking of the ship at all, but this room was the noisiest of all rooms I have stayed in. Maybe deck 2 is too low for me ,or maybe the very back is not for me......I just prefer a higher deck I believe. We were told the back of the ship has a beautiful view, but our window was so water spotted and dirty our view was not as perfect, as expected. Will probably not choose this location again. Not meaning to complain, because I love cruising...and if I didn't have a choice I would stay here again....but I do get a choice for my next one, and this probably will not be it.

Ship tip

Most ships are about the same....its what you make out of your trip that makes it wonderful! Just go and enjoy!

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
Easy embarkation and dismbarking!

Key West, Florida

5 out of 5
it is close to the land, a 2 minute walk to shops and fun.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

4 out of 5
We rented a car and drove around the island. Easy to get on and off ship.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
LOVED this island. My favorite port. We are platinum so tendering to island was easy !

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Port is under construction, and it was a good 15-20 minute walk to just get off port walkway. However the shopping and beach excursion, ride over Sydney Portier Bridge to Atlantis was fun!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Loved the change to go thru face recognition screening before you get your luggage. Made it quick and easy!
