Review summary

This was our first Cruise but was right for us we just wanted to relax and enjoyed the ports. Everyone was so friendly and made new friends! If your going for things to do I would take a bigger ship! 8 days is a long time with limited shows and things to do! And definitely get FTTF if you can!

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Dinning room was the best! We ate breakfast there as well! Buffet was lacking flavor. Really needs biscuits and gravy, doughnuts and toppings for ice cream!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
People saved chairs all day so no one could ever get any. Needs someone making sure it doesn’t happen.same in the serenity area to!

Charleston, South Carolina

Loved Charleston Patriot Park, the fort etc. Stay night before at best western and leave your car there it cost $20 a day at the port. It was nice to be dropped off at the gate.

Fast to the fun! You don’t have to wait in line to get on the boat. You get on with the diamond and platinum people. Our room was ready when we boarded and we got off the ship first to.
