Review summary

I really enjoyed this cruise. I would love to take the kids on this cruise. Wonderful staff. There are plenty of things to do. You never get bored. Food is amazing.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was very organized and fast. My husband and I kept trying to decide if we should buy the FTTF, but we didn't and I don't regret it at all. We went through fast and was on the ship before our appointment time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was amazing. I think we only had one issue of over cooked steak and when my husband was asked they fixed it immediately. Actually they brought out another whole meal. I loved the dining room. Anytime dining was awesome. Buffet was great too. Variety of stuff.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
With there only being one pool it was crowded. We never got in. The serenity deck was nice. We really enjoyed sitting out there. Waterslides were neat.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The music shows were amazing. I enjoyed them. The piano bar was another favorite spot to hear the guy sing. Every show we went to we really enjoyed. Anthony the ship director was awesome!

Children's Programs

I left the kid's home!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was really good. Our room steward, Rueben, was the sweetest ever. I still don't know how he memorized all the names. It was impressive.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I have never seen so many people cleaning to keep something clean. Everywhere was well maintained. The buffet area was a little hard to keep clean but if you asked they would hurry and do it for you. But you need to understand that a lot of people eat in there and they try to keep up. Layout was fine on the ship once you learned where everything was.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was clean the whole trip. I was worried that the room would be small cause I get claustrophobic, but it was great. My husband and I had the king bed. Yes it is two twin beds put together but we didn't care. It was perfect.

Ship tip

If you are worried about motion sickness, the patch was great. I didn't have a problem after I put that on. Definitely bring a lot of ones and fives for tip. Enjoy yourself.

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

5 out of 5
I love Charleston! One of my favorite places to go.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
My husband and I did a 90 minute shallow swim with dolphins at Atlantis with the waterpark for the day. It was amazing. Atlantis is beautiful. We also went to the market and bought souvenirs for the family. The people there were not really pushy like I thought. They were really nice.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy and fast. My husband and I carried our luggage off. We were of the ship and in our car in less than an hour. Very organized.
