Stream-lined and easy!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We're not buffet people and ate every available meal in the dining room. Dining was a highlight of the trip.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We enjoyed the fitness center, spa, water slide, hot tub and shows.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We went to most music and comedy shows. They were very well done.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
We went to the Hasbro game show and it was well done.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We especially enjoyed our dining room staff: Sabby, Riansyah, and Daryl. They all were all excellent, going over and above our expectations. All three should be considered for promotion. We believe Daryl should be ready to be a head-waiter. Our room steward Marco was very personable and did a great job.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship appeared as it did 15 years ago, when we went on our last cruise.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Window was dirty (inside ..... was gross!). Bed was uncomfortable........ it kept separating!

Ship tip

We got the "bubbly/soda" drink package. It was almost more trouble than it was worth.

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

5 out of 5
We really like Charleston.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Wanted to go to the Rum distillery but being Easter, it wasn't open. Very disappointed.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

2 out of 5
Not worth it!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy and stream-lined.

What is Bonine?

I went on Ecstasy in February, and it was rocky every day, except the last day heading back to Charleston. Didn’t affect my fun tho! Took Bonine every day.
