Review summary

One word, Awesome! I guess they want fifty words though lol. So I guess I’ll just say this was an amazing cruise that I met people I will be friends for life now.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Our embarkation was simple, easy, and very welcoming.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food was good and very fresh at all times on the buffet. Not a lot that I preferred though. The dinning room was beautiful and the wait staff so friendly and welcoming. The food was always great, and it’s nice to try new things. The drinks are wonderful. We had the cheers program now for the second time. It’s a great thing to not have to keep track of our drinks.

Bar

5 out of 5

The Alchelmy Bar was the best bar ever! The bartenders there know everything it seems lol. I’m not going to spell this correct but, Julianna was the best I’ve ever had at any bar in my life. She was awesome! She made me any drink that I asked for to make me not get an upset stomach hehehe. Her personality and kindness was beyond welcoming. We couldn’t stay away from the bar because we wanted to talk to her. I must say all bartenders were great there don’t get me wrong 😘

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We did so much but honestly we didn’t get in the pools and such. We did play mini golf and chess.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The stage shows were amazing! The American rocks show was amazing, I didn’t think it could be beat, then comes the brits! I went to the second show too it was so good. I don’t remember the little man that did the carnival quest’s name, but he is amazing at everything he does! His personality is just wonderful and I’d go see anything he is hosting he’s that good and funny.

Children's Programs

No children with me

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
All waiters we had were awesome. Our room steward, Ana was great. I will tell you I got on the elevator one time and the was a staff member by the buttons and I asked her to push 6 and before I could say please she rudely said “and!” And I said I was going to say please so she pushed the button. Then she proceeded to bark no one ever just says hi to us and on and on. I said I’m sorry for others but I treat everyone with respect you do not know me. And I got off the elevator. It upset me for a minute but then I thought no I’m not going to be bothered. She maybe having a bad day, she may be in training and carnival will straighten her out lol. Because the wonderful staff out do any of the ones having a bad day. Don’t we all have those days? I know I do 😇

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean. Very pretty.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very nice and clean. We don’t spend much time in our cabin lol. It was perfect.

Ship tip

It’s a wonderful ship, it is a smaller ship so if you don’t like the movement it’s not for you. But we loved it.

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

4 out of 5
Didn’t do anything there but love the city.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We did our very first excursion at breezes resort. It was great and the food and drinks there was amazing.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
Beautiful place I’ve never seen nothing like it. Enjoyed just laying on the beach.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
There’s not enough stars 🌟 to rate this beautiful friendly island. We go see Edith at Johns Ocean View bar and grill. She is the best woman ever. Her food and fruit rum drinks are amazing. Her beach is so beautiful and quiet, not thousands of people around you. She takes excellent care of her customers and you leave feeling like family. Matter of fact she has her grand babies there that I love like my own. I asked them to call me Nana and they do! I can’t say enough good about her and this place. You must check her out.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy and fast. These people know what they are doing :)

Good to see that someone else gets that people can have a bad day and not roast them for it! Refreshing!
