Review summary

Everything was good a lot to do on the ship, and lots of food just maybe not what you want at the time, room service was good we ordered twice and it was good. I would recommend this cruise just don't expect all the extras like from a bigger ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was awesome we had faster to the fun so we were on the ship in our room within 10 minutes of arriving at the terminal.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining room service was great food was OK to me the selection wasn't great but the food I had was very good, I never ate from the buffet because it was never open when I was around. Guys burgers was the best food for me.

Deli

5 out of 5

Deli was awesome I loved the Reuben sandwich.

Pizzeria

3 out of 5

The pizza was OK, we always had to wait for it to be made which is fine but when you get it it would be falling apart, but it did taste good so that's a plus

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I love the adults only serenity area with private hot tubs. They showed Thor Ragnarok in the starlight lounge and my only problem there was the screen being small that they played the movie on. The casino was packed all the time.

Entertainment

I did not go to any shows or listen to the DJ.

Children's Programs

I have no kid's.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our waitress in Windstar dining room was awesome and always took care of us and our room Stewart Hector was great and always very helpful.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship was very clean although you can see the age on it, the layout did not please me as my cabin was on deck 6 at back of ship and dining room was at front of ship on 8 so I had to go to deck 9 walk to front then come back to 8 because the mid ship on 8 is the galley and you can walk through so if I book again I will keep that in mind.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was a lot bigger then I expected and the balcony was huge, the bed was comfortable it really exceeed my expectations.

Ship tip

Make sure you know your way around the ship cause if not it can be a lot of walking to get from a to b.

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

5 out of 5
Got on and off ship here, no issues.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
The port was good I stayed on the ship but it was beautiful.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
It was a beautiful place but soon as you get off the ship people everywhere offering tours for 30 a person and they don't want to hear no, we didn't stay long.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Disembarkation was good we had to wait a little bit for wheelchair assistant but we were off the boat and thought customs by 8 am.

Ecstasy was our first cruise in 93. We loved it and enjoyed everything we did an the people were fantastic. The ship is so much smaller than the ones we go on now. Freedom, Valor, Breeze are huge but again the same. Carnival is s wonderful cruise an love the ships.
