Review summary

they need to upgrade their food some and get some better entertainment in my opinion. The ship needs some upgrades as well. I hear they are gonna retire it. Maybe thats the best thing. I enjoyed it for the most part. I wouldn't go on it again however. Once and done. Been there and done that.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Buffet was very limited. Just a few hot food choices. Main dining room wasn't bad....good service. Nice deserts Was not impressed by the food at all. Didn't start serving breakfast until 7:30 which was kindof late for me.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Bingo was good. Not much to do really...did everything there was to do in a couple of days. We got stuck on the ship an extra day and I almost died. Nothing to do...did use the pool a couple of days which was nice

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Had singers that weren't that great at singing but they tried. Not bad performance for a small ship.

Children's Programs

no kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

our beds were great...very comfortable and a joy to sleep in...bathroom was clean and nice shower..no complains...kidnof old but clean....

Ship tip

get the drink package if your a alcohol drinker cause the drinks are outrageously priced...14$ for a Pina Colada...then they expect a tip too...we bought very few....I'm a soda drinker so we got the soda package which was well worth it...

Thumbs up

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

my friend and I got separated so I was kindof scared walking around alone...but I went through the straw market and felt ok....everything is the same stuff over and over again so it gets old quick...
