Good. They feed us through fairly easily

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Good. We didn’t understand you could order more than one thing at formal dining area so we missed out on that. The buffet was ok, I’ve had better. Deli was good, pizza good.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Bingo, and other shows/games. Putt putt golf, water slides, pool. Pool was always over crowded.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Djs were great. Singers that I saw were good

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Teen loved the club for teens!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Waiter was amazing, room steward was great too. No complaints at all on services

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean ship

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Clean, size was average. Bed was ok, I kept falling into the gap were they push beds together to make one. Pillows were good, air conditioner was awful! We stayed hot! Refrigerator did not work either.

Ship tip

Be patient elevators are slow. Or just take the stairs.

Ports of call

Jacksonville, Florida

4 out of 5
We stayed over night here prior to sailing.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
It was my 2nd time there. It’s an okay port. It was cleaner this time than before I will say.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Loved this island. Clean, beautiful water, relaxed

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Wasn’t a fan of the A,B,C,D.. thing but we got through it and out to our car. Customs was nice, no issues at all.

I'm glad you enjoyed your cruise. As a tip for your next cruise, I recommend you leave your fridge door slightly ajar. The air circulation improves its cooling capacity... again, good review and thanks.

Did you report the AC and fridge? We all expect things can break on a ship, it’s how it is handled that matters.
