Review summary

We enjoyed the cruise. Please keep in mind a less expensive cruise means a wider variety of people can afford it as well. So be prepared all kinds of people! Some got rowdy and forgot they were adults and argued quiet loudly using foul language. Some felt their kids could run wild down the halls, etc.

Embarkation

Not too difficult, went pretty smooth.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Dinning Room was our preferred place. The buffet was a mad house. It reminded me of a Golden Corral, people loading their plates like they have never ate and tables always slap full!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The pool was lovely, disappointing there’s only one pool. Lots of kids that were not supervised.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
I expected better shows vs singers just sitting on stools and singing…

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was very friendly and took excellent care of us.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship appears a little older and could use repairs. But it was kept clean!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Very clean, our steward was amazing. In room fridge doesn’t work well (according to others none do). AC wasn’t very cold… I was sweating a bit at night.

Ship tip

Bring a small fan!

We stayed in port and went to the shops and Senior Frogs. Had a nice time and then enjoyed the shops pool for the day.

Bimini, Bahamas

Really enjoyed ourselves. We rented a golf cart on our own. Went and found a wonderful conch hut and enjoyed lunch and found a lovely quiet beach to walk. Definitely would go back!

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Quite long lines and took a good amount of time. Finally made it our car around 10:15am.
