Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Wayan was our room steward, He was great, but we didn't have the need for very much interaction...but I was pleased with what he did help us with when needed.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I constantly seen people cleaning, which was great. The only ship design I would change is an additional pool. One in the adult only section would've been great.

Ship tip

The Cheers package is very worth it. Pay for anything possible before you leave, it makes for a worry free cruise. Our friends did not pay before and they had a large bill when leaving the ship, where as my husband and I did not.

Ports of call

Jacksonville, Florida

We we're randomly selected (according to customs) for the customs search. It is scary, especially for newbies, giving any sort of answer would be great instead of "I don't know". Just my opinion

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

I found this port to be too laid back, nothing really to do but swim and lay on the beach. Also the food was less than desired.

Had an amazing time looking in the shops. Things were affordable. Senior Frogs is a must!
