Review summary

We really enjoyed this cruise. It was the first long cruise where it was just the two of us. We meet great people & just relaxed. We heard that the night time entertainment was great but didn't attend any of them. We would definitely do this one again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy & fast

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food was good but I think the quality has gone down in the past few years.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There was plenty to do on the ship. We participated in a art scavenger hunt, played mini golf, worked out in the fitness center & really enjoyed the the Cloud 9 Hydrotherapy pool & thermal suites, it was worth buying the spa package.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was very friendly & helpful

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was clean & well maintained. It's an older ship & the bench seating in the buffet area needs to be refurbished.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was clean & maintained. The size of the cabin decent size for a cruise ship & the bed was comfortable.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

4 out of 5

Key West, Florida

4 out of 5
Key West is beautiful, our excursion was cancelled because of wind but we had a nice time walking around the island.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

4 out of 5
Freeport was a nice Island not a lot to do if you don't have an excursion. We signed up to swim with the dolphins & would love to do it again. It was a great experience & something that was on my bucket list.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

2 out of 5
Half Moon Cay was the prettiest of all the ports. The water & beach was beautiful. We enjoyed walking the beach after our excursion. We did the stingray adventure. The guides we're very informative & friendly.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Nassau was nice. There was a lot of excursions to choose from. We did the snorkeling at two reef's. The excursion crew were awesome & very helpful. The water was a little choppy but it was still great with lots of sea life to see. Our second excursion was a walking tour of Nassau, it was alright. Our tour guide was nice & knowledgeable, it just wasn't our thing.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Disembarking was quick & easy.

Thanks for the great review. Guessing a couple of stars didn’t make it to your review of Half Moon Cay, one of our faves.

Thanks for the review. I too am confused why you wrote a positive review for Half Moon Cay but gave it two out of five stars with no explanation.

I didn't understand the 2-star rating for Half Moon Cay since you said you enjoyed it so much.
