Went to all the shows and thought they were fantastic. A must see if you are on this ship.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff from the entry on the ship to the room stewards and everywhere else were great. The casino staff were so friendly and always there to get you a drink or anything else needed.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The Ecstasy may be an older and smaller ship than others but it is in fantastic shape. The layout was easy to navigate. I loved how cool our room was because I was afraid it wouldn't be after I found out there was no temp controls in each room.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was a good size for an inside room. Plenty of closet space and the bathroom was larger than some we've had before. Room was very clean and well maintained.

Ship tip

Sti back and relax. Enjoy every minute because the trip goes by really fast.

I agree a 5-day Bahama cruise is a great starter cruise.
