Smooth and fast

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
All were wonderful!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The salute to military was as moving as could be. The back deck with the water slides was great.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
I had low expectations after being on a Disney Cruise, but the shows were professional, great props, great musicians!

Children's Programs

No kids with us.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I couldn’t believe how our steward and waiters learned and remembered our names; it all felt very personalized.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Everything was very clean. It’s an older ship, and you can see that in some places - but a nice layout. Wish the elevators had reminders of what was on each deck; we kept getting off at the wrong floors.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
We didn’t like being in a balcony room with Tyne Pullman bunks (not used) - we kept hitting our heads on there unused upper bunk at the head of our bed.

Ship tip

Non-surge protector extension outlets are a MUST with the one-outlet cabin.

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina Did not visit port

We live nearby

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
It’s a racket getting off the ship with all the vendors. Did the sail and snorkle; it was nice but chilly in January

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

4 out of 5
Chose to do nothing but relax on the beach. Would have been nice to know there was a tram to get to lunch.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth and easy
