Review summary

Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would definitely go with the same cruise ship. Would like to see others just for the experience. Next cruise, my children will go and there will be more area to be covered with them.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was great! By the time we were on board our ship, we were able to immediately go to our rooms and half of the luggage had already arrived and the other was not too much longer after.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Did not experience 1 bad meal on the ship. Wait staff was remarkable as well!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We enjoyed the comedy club the most. The pool was small for the amount of people on board, you could only get in the pool and stand in one spot. Therefore, we never tried to get in.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
never was disappointed. Listened to lots of different music in certain bar areas as well as caught 2 shows. Both were great. The band on board was wonderful!

Children's Programs

Did not travel with kids this time

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff that we encountered always went above and beyond to help. There was not too many instances where they were not already one step ahead, but if we needed something it was provided very quickly.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Could use some upgrades, but for the most part was great. Very clean! That was never an issue. There was a smell of sewage throughout the halls leading down the steps and in certain areas of the ship, that was definitely bothersome.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Our cabin was very clean and our steward, Camelo, did a fabulous job of always keeping things clean for us. Wish the windows were a little cleaner and easier to see out of, but I'm sure that is not an easy task.

Ship tip

Great ship! Would definitely book again!

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

3 out of 5
Was easy to park and were shuttle very quickly to the ship. Didn't like the maze that we had to drive around to get to parking. Also, would be nice to have a larger port to be able to handle a larger ship.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Would not stay at the port we docked at. We booked an excursion to the Blue Lagoon Island and it was absolutely beautiful! Would do that again!

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

4 out of 5
We walked around port and then took a shuttle to the beach on the other side of the island. A place called Bahama Adventures. Not sure if they have other nice beaches. This was nice but had a very large crowd of people.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
WOW!! They know how to get you off that ship with no issues. We left our room to get off the ship at 7:20 and we were in our vehicles and leaving by 8:10
