Review summary

This was my first cruise and I couldn’t be more happy! Everything was great! I seriously couldn’t of asked for a better cruise!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very fast and easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining room was great. Our wait staff took amazing care of us. Pizza place and burger place were okay, nothing to die for but didn’t taste awful ( mediocre). I love breakfast to begin with so I enjoyed to breakfast buffet.

Metropolis Bar

5 out of 5

Ronjo took great care of us, remembered our drink of choice and our names! Some people don’t like it because of the smoking but I am a smoker so I enjoyed it. Was usually very crowded though.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Had tons of fun playing chess and ping pong. Never got in the pools or hot tubs. Usually were packed with kids.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows were great. Bands and musicians and DJs were good. We always had something to do.

Children's Programs

No children with us

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The best part that made my cruise so special would definitely have to be the work staff. They were so friendly and on top of their game it was great! Ronjo was a fantastic bartender. Harlene and margarita were a great team in the dining room and Rustam our room steward was so nice and always had our room looking like it was on the first day.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I thought everything was well taken care of. They always had workers cleaning and taking care of everything.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
LOVED our cabin. We actually got upgraded a day before our cruise and I could not be happier! Good size room, window was huge! Bed was comfortable. Great room

Ship tip

If you take care of your room steward, waitstaff, and bartender, I promise they will take care of you!

Ports of call

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5
Drove the dune buggies and that was so much fun! Beach was beautiful and the weather was perfect! Only giving 4 stars because if we didn’t do the dune buggies there really isn’t much to do on the island. Princess cays is a beach day

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
LOVED Nassau! Went to blue lagoon and I cannot express how beautiful it was! Did the VIP dolphin swim and it was so much fun! Blue lagoon is it’s own private island that has ferries to take you to and from, they leave at certain times so make sure you know when. We didn’t know and missed the early departure so we didn’t get back to Nassau until about 3:30 so we didn’t have much time to explore Nassau but it was still my favorite port!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Super easy and fast! Was off the ship about 8:10.
