Ship Quality

4 out of 5
For an older ship I thought it was great. No problems with the sewage smell. And it was very clean 👍

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Had M11, with a porthole. This was only our 2nd cruise ever and we had a interior the first time. Def going for the porthole again. Seemed like it had more room. The porthole ledge also provided alot of extra storage

Ship tip

It's a great ship, especially if your on a budget. We live 2 hours from jaxport, so we will be sailing again soon 😊

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

Loved the straw market. It's a haggling place for sure. 😊 Senor Frogs was the coolest

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

We leave out Monday Jan 27 and hoping we have similar experience as you. It will be my mom, sister and myself just doing a quick girls get away from Atl GA. We have sailed carnival before but not a smaller ship. We have a balcony towards the back so hope all goes well and no sewage smell like others have mentioned 😳 and weather and seas are good 😍
