Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food was okay. It was not as good as the newer Ships, but better than I anticipated.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Trivia was fun and had fun playing bingo(or should I say bingo played me because I won nothing 😅)

Entertainment

3 out of 5
We saw a few shows and they were okay. This was the first time I saw the production tram dancing with the fun squad

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
We had our 2 year old granddaughter with us and she went to camp ocean a couple of times. Very safe and secure.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service was great. Staff was very helpful and kind. Our room steward was going home for 2 months to spend the holidays with his family.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
It was a bit confusing to get to camp.ocean because only certain elevators go to the 11th floor and then there is a small 2 person elevator to go to the 12th floor or take the flight up.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was average. Plenty of storage. Not a fan of the shower curtains

Ship tip

Use the maps because all elevators do go to the top floors.

Ports of call

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
One of my favorite ports. The beach is in walking distance, free chairs, beautiful white sand and amazing blue water. We had a local lunch and fun beach day. Weather was perfect

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
The weather was bad and not safe to tinder. Port was canceled. I am always a fan of safety

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We have visited a few times, buy we went to the beach, had a local lunch and enjoyed family

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Staff was nice, port was clean

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
A bit disorganized and the rude, impatient passengers didn't make it any better. This is an area for improvement for sure.
