Review summary

Overall it was a good first cruise that got us hooked. It also taught us a lot. Take advantage of what the boat has to offer. Free shows and activities.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

As first time sailers we did not take full advantage of everything offered. But there was only one pool and it was always crowded.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The staff was amazing and really made our cruise 10 times better!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

It felt dingy but it is the second oldest boat. I know they have done some upgrades since we last sailed on her but the ship is definitely show her age.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

It’s a good room but again it was showing it’s age. However it’s a balcony room so it’s nice getting that ocean breeze.

Ports of call

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5

Not the greatest port but we enjoyed our excursion. The people where amazing and the food was even better. We had a home made meal of red snapper with a pineapple slaw and rice. Mmmm it was delicious.
