Review summary

EXCELLENT The cruise was amazing! I will definitely be back with my family & hope that the waters aren't choppy like they were this time!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
This was my first cruise! I really did enjoy everything! I went with friends & trying to plan another one with the family. The ONLY thing is the water was SO CHOPPY & EVERYONE said that out all the cruises they had been on that the water had been the worst. So just because the weather wasn't the best at sea I will definitely be back!!! Everything else was fantastic!!!

Amazingly clean!!!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin size was a little small for 3 people but we made do because all we did in there was getting ready for the day & sleep! The room was ALWAYS clean when we came back from our adventure!

Ports of call

Jacksonville, Florida

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
It was the most AMAZING thing I've ever seen! It was just HEAVENLY! All I did all day was float in the ocean (even though it was freezing cold, I stayed in. Didn't know if I would ever have another chance) We had a cabana (#1 & our friends had #2). I will definitely be back with the family!

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
It was ok! Maybe if I wasn't tired & sore from walking in the sand the day before. We went to the straw market (I wasn't impressed) I would like to go back & look in more shops along the strip & also be able to go to Atlantis or maybe even do an excursion!
