Review summary

I'm hooked...I'm already planning my next cruise! It was everything I imagined and more and Stacey Streibeck at Cruise One was such a big help in all of us planning our cruise (11 of us)...she rocks!!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Oy vey, the walking! up ramp after ramp! Not to say I don't need the exercise...I walked 5 miles that first day! but it really is tiresome!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
If I'm being honest (NOT complaining), the buffet could have been a little better. It was all good...but the choices were a bit off...although the breakfast buffet was awesome! Food in the Windsong was absolutely up to par! Esp the desserts. Guy's Burger Joint was on point! GREAT burgers!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Did not really do any activities on board.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Punchline comedy club was pretty okay. Hasbro game show was a lot of fun! The entertainment was really wonderful...saw a show/musical and loved it! great singers! lots of energy

Children's Programs

no kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
EVERYONE on staff was stupendous! our room steward Jhoni was just such a nice and courteous guy and called us by name! Our table host in the Windsong was very attentive (cant remember her name!)

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean and well maintained! I was super impressed bc I had heard that she was an 'old' ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Extremely clean. size surprised me...in a good way...bed was super comfortable...bathroom was bigger than I expected. loved the window...although was kind of dirty on the outside...hazy.

Ship tip

Bring your walking shoes!

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

5 out of 5
I've lived in this area for years...Charleston is in my top 5 cities in the country. wonderfully historic and beautiful

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
If I visit again, next time I'll have to tour the area...didn't get to see much of it, other than some shops and of course, the Atlantis side of it. We did the Blue Lagoon, which I loved!

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
My fave thing about the trip! so relaxing and so very beautiful!!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Wonderful and quick! Our porter was so nice and we didn't have to even fool with our own bags. We really appreciated his help.
