Review summary

This was my favorite cruise I’ve been on so far! I love the smaller ships because they are easier to get around and I feel like the staff really gets to know you better! Only downfall to a smaller ship is you can feel lots of rocking, even on calm waters, unlike the larger ships.

Embarkation

Charleston is my favorite port so far. Easy to get around & good layout!

Ship tip

Since this is a smaller boat you can feel lots of rocking, even on calm waters. If you get motion sickness try staying up on top decks and wear something for motion sickness! (I like the patches and sea bands)

Ports of call

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
Beautiful island. I love being able to get off the boat and being so close to the beach and feeling very safe because it’s a private island!

I recommend walking to the queens staircase! It’s not far and it’s so cool!
