Review summary

It was a great cruise. I would definitely go again. Nice, clean ship, and great workers. I do wish there were more hot tubs or less hot tub hogs. Overall, had a very good time. Thank you!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I really enjoyed the young man that played the steel drums. The comedy shows were good. I'm glad they have several pg options. I do wish there was more music geared to the middle aged and older crowd.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
I enjoyed the steel drums and comedy shows. I was hoping the piano bar was open more often. Casino was fun but smokey. Comedy club was decent.

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

Can't say enough about the staff. They were all fantastic. How do they remember everybody's names?

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Room was good. 2 twin beds. They had a mattress or mattress cover that was heavenly I need to find out what they use! Nice tv but the only news option is CNN. Bathroom was small but nice. There was a continual ammonia smell coming from the bathroom.

Ship tip

Tip great service. These people work so hard and are a great group.

Ports of call

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5
Eh, so-so. We didn't do an excursion here but the port itself is very industrial looking. Not very pleasant to look if you stay at Port.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Beautiful ! Walked to Junako beach and did some shopping at the straw market. Scenery was nice and people were very pleasant.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Disembarkation always seems to be a mess, plus who wants to go home anyway? This was the most efficient disembarkation I've experienced to date. Nice job.

Steel drums are mainly in the atrium. Sometimes out by the pool though.

Which lounge had steel drums

They need to make the hot tubs adults only, the kids have the pool. My opinion, I may be wrong though. I'm glad you had a good time. Now go book another one. :^)
