Review summary

We were pleasantly surprised with our stateroom.  The room was much more spacious than expected and the bed was very comfortable.  The water pressure in the shower was amazing!  

Although it was a bit annoying having someone constantly trying to sell us something (drinks, photos and such) the staff was gracious in accepting our refusal.

I think our favorite day was spent at Half Moon Cay.  We did not sign up for any of the extra activities but thoroughly enjoyed exploring the island and the beach. It was absolutely beautiful.

We would highly recommend this cruise!  The ship was clean and well maintained.  The crew was cheerful and attentive.

The portholes let in a lot of light and made the room seem much more spacious but, if the drapes were not drawn at night, that light woke us really early! More than adequate closet space. The room steward provided a hair dryer so don;t worry about packing one.

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

Be sure to eat at Hyman's seafood restaurant!

We took a horse carriage ride around the downtown area and learned a lot about the local economy and lifestyle from the driver.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

Be sure to take some cash with you as the Straw Market does not accept the Sail and Sign card.
