Review summary

This was a great cruise. 8 days went by really fast. Enjoyed our family vacation. First time to Florida and Bahamas, we had a ton of fun.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Could never get Verifly to work for my entire 5 person party so embarkation not as quick as I would have liked.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was pretty good. Did not do the buffet but ate a lot of pizza and Guy's. Wish there were more late not options. Pizza was usually the only thing available late at night. Room service did not have many options. Food was always good in MDR.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Always something to do for everyone. We did go to the arcade way too much. Also saw a few shows which were all good. Did a little bit of everything on the ship.

Ship tip

Try everything and just have fun.

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Went to Aquaventure at Atlantis. Worth every penny. Really enjoyed the Rapids River ride. Kids enjoyed all the water slides. I only did 1 and thought I was going to die, lol. We ate at a restaurant there, service was slow but food was tasty. Quick taxi to and from the cruise port. There is construction going on so the walk off and on ship was kind of far on a really hot day.

Key West, Florida

4 out of 5
Hot! Drove around the town in a golf cart was fun. We also visited a beach.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
Got a Cabana and loved every minute of it.

Galveston, Texas

4 out of 5
Cruised out of Galveston pre-covid, not as pretty as I remembered. We enjoyed the Pleasure Pier though. Also got to drink and watch others fish on another pier.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

4 out of 5
No excursion. Got off ship to shop and spent a lot of $.
