Review summary

This was my first cruise and I really enjoyed everything except the rocky waters on the first day. Andy was an amazing Cruise Director.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
This is my first cruise and I was so excited to help my friend and her daughter celebrate their birthdays onboard. The first night was rocky because of a storm which no one had control of but the other days were so much fun with comedy, shows, entertainment, dancing, etc.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was good but the Seafood Shack made my cruise even better. I was so glad to finally get a taste of the fresh seafood.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I was able to sit back and see John Wick 4 with no interruptions until I got too cold due to the cool breeze. I thought I wouldn't need my jacket but I definitely did that night and I know that for my next cruise.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Oh my goodness, this group of musicians were so amazing. I couldn't help but sing and dance along with their amazing performances each time.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The steward did an amazing job cleaning the room daily. I didn't really get to meet him/her but the little animals made out of towels were the cutest and it made me smile each day.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I was able to navigate the ship easily after a few times of walking around on each deck. The app was very helpful for me to find the different activities on board.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The stateroom was spacious and I enjoyed stepping out onto the balcony for the fresh breeze.

Ship tip

Try different activities and food while on the ship. Don't stay stuck on doing the same things and eating the same foods everyday because it will eventually get boring.

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Shopping was my favorite thing to do while walking the streets of Nassau. The DJ at The Sugar Rush Lounge was awesome and had me jamming the entire time.

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
I was so excited to see the ship because I had never seen one up close before. I was ready to get on board and have fun.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It was hard to catch the elevators due to the process used to disembark but once I made it down to the deck to exit getting off the ship was quick and easy.

My next cruise will be in 2 months for my own birthday and I'll actually be in the Bahamas so I'm really excited.
