Review summary

Would love to go back! Half Moon Cay was amazing. The staff was great! I would recommend it to friends and family.

Everyone was so pleasant and helpful.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The pizza, tacos, burgers and dinner menu were fantastic during our cruise. Tiffany's buffet left much to be desired.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Loved the comedy shows, adult game night, and trivia games. Overall there were enough activities for people of all ages and interests. Would have liked to see more variety of fitness classes throughout the day (and ideally at no additional cost).

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Overall we had great experiences with the staff! Our dinner servers - Brian, Joseph, and Tabitha were all fabulous! Ary, Rodrigo and Pimon were awesome bartenders. Really have to give it to Ary...he's fantastic!! Maja in Guest Services has room to improve in Customer Service.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Always people cleaning and maintaining. The layout of the ship was kind of confusing, but overall could get where we needed to go.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
All good, except for the bathrooms. The showers are very small and the bathroom does not give you any kind of vacation feel at all...more like a locker room feel.

Ship tip

Find Ary's bar and you will have a fantastic trip! Also the Cheers package is worth it.

Ports of call

Jacksonville, Florida

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

Fabulous and so relaxing! Would have loved more time here.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
They make you get out of your room early, but won't let you leave the ship. Elevators weren't working, so we were stuck for a while. A bit confusing.
