Review summary

I’m definitely hooked! It was overall a very fun experience for my first cruise! I hated to come home! I’m currently looking to book my second cruise before the end of this year!

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Walked in midway thru the towel buddy puppet show and stayed because it was so cute & fun for the kids that were onboard.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
These had to be the friendliest and most helpful people in the world. They were from at least 60 different countries and each and everyone I came into contact with always had a smile!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I was really impressed!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was perfect size! My bed was so comfortable and the shower was really good as well-always had a good supply of hot water!

Ship tip

Get the Faster to the Fun package!!! Well worth the extra $$!!

Ports of call

Jacksonville, Florida

5 out of 5
No excursions here. I purchased my parking spot from JAXPORT online and literally could roll my luggage from the ship to my truck! They have people on golf carts that are dedicated to dropping you off to the ship as well.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
It was small but the water was so blue and the late January weather was warm enough to get a good tan! Very relaxing!

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
I chose to just walk and explore the straw markets and had lunch at Senor Frogs. It was a good shopping experience.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It was very smooth. Again because of the Faster to the Fun I was one of the first to get off the boat.

Yup, that's how it starts. Soon you'll be up to 7 a year like us and looking for a cruisaholics support group.
