Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The cabin was clean and comfortable. The bed was another story. as usual, it was two singles pushed together, but on this occasion, the mattresses maintained a 2 to 4 inch separation, making it difficult for a couple to get comfortable.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

4 out of 5

Easy t park and get around. I felt the parking expense was a bit like gouging as it was $25.00 per night. When I questioned the attendant, her response was, take it up with management.

Nassau, Bahamas

Whole dock area was under construction. If you didn't purchase an activity all that was left was to walk a few blocks in slum area

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

2 out of 5

Nothing but sand and walking trails. More comfortable to lay in the sun onboard. Also, pre paid cheers program was not accepted there even though it was the ships crew operating the bar.
