Review summary

Disappointed overall. Extremely inefficient in many aspects. Food was average or below. Pool was too small for the amount of people on the ship. Bar service was great, dining service not so much.

A breeze, we arrived early.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Dining was just average in both the buffet & dining room. Tried going for pizza, waited in line for 15 minutes and took another 10 once ordered. Limited selection in buffet, not indicated well for vegetarians.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Activities were not seemingly tailored to my age group. Other cruises I have taken had more activities that I was interested in.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Shows were not seemingly tailored to my age group. Other cruises I have taken had more shows that I was interested in. On the 1st night tried the set sail show and was very disappointed.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
I never saw our room steward. Drink waiters and bartenders were very good. Dining and buffet staff were not as pleasant. One night waited 45 minutes for meal.

Cabin / Stateroom

Room was a standard size and amenities.

Ports of call

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5
No excursion. Unfortunately was overcast until time to return to the ship. But plenty of available chairs and covered areas.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Went to Blue Lagoon Island which was beautiful and well maintained. Unfortunately it stormed most of the day.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Had to wait to get off the ship, was told to wait in our stateroom. Apparently not everyone was required to do this because when they finally called for disembark, the line was already long. Also there were only 4 customs agents to accommodate the entire ship.
