Review summary

We cruised with friends out of Charleston, which is so convenient because we live in Myrtle Beach.  The terminal is SO efficient and organized, we were on the ship in a blink!  Nice day at sea and beautiful day in Nassau but cold day in Freeport, only 60 and windy.  Unfortunately, no heat on the ship.  But the crew is friendly, and the CD is great!  He is very interactive and funny.  This ship went into dry dock as soon as everyone was off.  It was interesting to talk to crew to find out if they were staying on the ship or going elsewhere.  We are looking forward to our December cruise to see her improvements.

This ship still has the salad bar separate from other food. No waiting in line for salad only. Love it.

I love cruising out of chas. People are so nice down there. ( we've lived there 2x) I truly believe that the guests from the south are friendlier. I'm not saying there are people that are not friendly in other ports, but there tend to be rowdy and rude groups at times in other ports. ☹️
