Review summary

We went with our daughter and her husband and 4 grandchildren, so we had a wide age difference. Really enjoyed being with them all! Just a relaxing time and great food!

We waited awhile in line but that was to be expected.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food was great!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We did use the fitness center and it was nice, the pool was too cold and the hot tubs were not very hot. The kids were able to go on the water slides one day but otherwise it was too cold and wind.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The stage shows were good and they are very talented!

Children's Programs

3 out of 5
The kids didn't participate in too many. They did the build a bear activity but it was expensive.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
They all were very nice and friendly!!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
You can tell that this ship is old, and needs updating. But it was clean, and It's just not that large. Didn't like having the rescue boats in our view next to the pool area. Not very many Balcony rooms.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
The room was very small for a balcony room, and didn't smell very well in the bathroom.

Ship tip

I probably would tell them to go on a newer ship.

Ports of call

Jacksonville, Florida

4 out of 5
We stayed at a hotel on the ocean and it was very nice.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

4 out of 5
The beach was very nice and it was a fun afternoon.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
We went to a beach further away from the ship and it was very nice and not crowded at all.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
The line was very long, we even waited till 10:00 to leave.
