Review summary

This was a fun family cruise to celebrate our sons 21st birthday. There were 6 of us altogether in three rooms. He said it's a birthday he will never forget!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Super easy. It was a full ship, but the lines to get on moved pretty fast.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We had an awesome dining experience in the main dining room. Alma was so good to us! The food choices were grear and we really enjoyed trying new things. The only thing we would like to see different was to have the buffet open as an option all afternoon on sea day. Guys burgers, pizza and deli were open but huge lines probably because the ship was full.

Especially since it was a capacity, spring break sailing... the staff did a great job keeping everything clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

Cabin was perfect. We were in room u5 and loved the location

Ship tip

Our kids loved sailing during spring brrak. However, if it was just us, we would go during a less busy time.

Jacksonville, Florida Did not visit port

Just parked and boarded.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5
Very touristy. But the kids had fun in the market and senior frogs.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Enjoyed the beach. No excursion. Enjoyed a nice restaurant called Dali Tapas. Very friendly staff there. Had a waiter at the bikini tiki hut try to take our money and not deliver our drinks. Had to chase him down to get what we ordered. Beware of that. But it was our kids inexperience in giving him the money up front. Lesson learned on that one.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Again, easy process just a long line, but it moved pretty steadily.
