Review summary

I would probably take a bigger ship next time. It was relaxing even though the weather and the winds were not so good. I love the Charleston port. Everyone was so nice and friendly. Helpful. Good entertainment. A pleasant experience.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The experience was good, friendly and fun staff. Loved the singing and dancing. I wish the food was “hot” as in temperature.

Onboard Activities

The wind song dinning room was very good. We ate there everyday and some lunches. Variety of food was good.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Ship felt clean, and someone was always polishing and cleaning handrails, floors and doors. The ships layout was good and easy to get around. Ithis ship was small but still offered a lot for all ages.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our room was clean and comfortable. It was plenty roomy. We had a Jr. Suite. Our porter Kdeck was wonderful and was so nice. Our room was always spotless. He had our ice bucket ready every night at 9:00 like we requested. He’s the best.

Ship tip

The ship was always cool so I’m glad I had a sweater. I brought too many dress clothes, even dinner was more casual than I expected. The sail and sign is great and convenient.
