Great first cruise! Excellent crew and food and clean ship!

Embarkation

Jacksonville Port was extremely smooth and fast to get on ship. We did NOT have faster to the fun.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Food was great quality and variety

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Good events and activities for adults but not much for kids. The kids camp was boring my 11 yr. Old said. Not much fun.

Entertainment

Good

Children's Programs

1 out of 5

Not much for kids to do. Build a bear was too expensive! Kids camp was poorly organised and not much to do.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Very attentive and kind staff! They kept ship clean and eager to help.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was very clean, except for broken glass found under the bed.

Ship tip

Explore the ship the first day. There are many hidden places to get away from the crowd. If you want to use the pool it is best to go early in morning.

Ports of call

Jacksonville, Florida

Nassau, Bahamas

1 out of 5

I highly suggest to do an excursion. Don't go to Junkanoo beach or that part of Nassau it was dirty. Cabbage beach was great. There are pushy locals asking you if you want to jet ski or parasail. Research the port first.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5

Great! We did not rent a cabana or do an excursion. No need it's a great beach.
