Review summary

Overall very nice and inexpensive, not sure we would go again. Maybe if they add more ports. Nice short get away!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and efficient, very nice people. Glad we did the 1230 time frame.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
It was pretty good for the most part. Lines were long for the bugers and omelets. Not sure why the taco place and buffet close at 3pm. That made the lines even longer. The 6pm dinner was very good but we were there at least an hour to 1.5. We missed the 730 show! Wait staff was great Juan, but just over worked.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Pool was too full! Only got in there once and got kicked several times! And too small for all the guests. Very disappointed they didnt have a pool in the adult area, Serenity. AND it closes at 9pm!!! Ridiculous! Went back to the main pool and there were too many teens in the hottub and the pool was too chilly. SUGGESTION: since there is no adult pool, make an adult time every hour like regular pools. 15 minutes.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The Rock and Roll show was fantastic! Stephan was great. Military appreciation was very good. Lots of prizes given away which was nice. Ashore information was very good Bingo was way too expensive though. Would have played more and had more fun if I had a full 4 sheets but 58$ was too pricey for us.

Service and Staff

Older but very clean. One elevator wasnt working. Needs a bigger pool

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very nice size for us. One thing, the shower pressure was terrible.

Ship tip

Understand thats its a smaller ship and it can get crowded.

Ports of call

Jacksonville, Florida

5 out of 5
We left from here

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5
Not enough information about the other parts of Freeport. Only the market right outside the ship. The taxi to Lacyua was very disorganized.

Bimini, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Our Eco boat trip was canceled! But we went on the Air tran tour. The guilds were very nice and helpful. Lunch was just ok, not that great. More information about the beach would had been helpful. We had plenty of time to swim and would have wore bathing suits. Absolutely beautiful!

Disembarkation

Very smooth
