Review summary

Older ship. Well maintained. Need better entertainment in theater. Good music. Need to keep kids out of hot tubs. Think twice about buying drink package.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy. Wish they would have told us to take luggage with us since we purchased Faster to the Fun!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Everything we had was delicious!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Son in law did slide. Pool was nice. Main pool really need to keep all the kids out of hot tubs. Not a swimming pool.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Could use better variety of stage shows. Musicians in atrium, bars, lounges and on deck were great!

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All staff were great. Friendly and prompt. Received what we asked for.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship is well maintained for an older ship. Crew cleaning and painting decks.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was larger the expected. Bed was comfortable with plenty of pillows and blankets. Nice to have a couch. Bathroom was adequate. Always plenty of towels. Need more outlets and longer cord on hair dryer. Balcony was nice size.

Ship tip

Faster to the fun wasn’t really needed to buy. Drink package I feel is expensive. Balcony was nice.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Just repetitive shopping. Should have gone to Atlantis. Daughters excursion was cancelled.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

3 out of 5
Basically a beach. Paid for chairs and umbrellas which I feel should be complimentary since you have to buy your alcohol. Beach and water rocky. Bring good weather shoes and your own float. Otherwise pricey to rent.

Grand Turk Island

3 out of 5
Again shopping and beach. Pricey rentals for chairs and shades.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy. Again Faster to the Fun wasn’t not worth the price.
