We had a great time with my parents on this cruise. We had never cruised at Christmas and the ship was beautiful. Having only cruised before over Spring Break, Graduation, and the 4th of July, I found this cruise to be more chill, more people having family time, playing games etc. Loved all the Christmas pj’s. We had a great time.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
We had 12:30 port arrival. Parked at the port and walked right on. I would say whole process was 30 min or less.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
We ate very little at the buffet. Breakfast/brunch and dinner every meal in the MDR which was great. We love eating foods we don’t typically take time at home to make. Guys, the deli and the pizza place were our go to places for lunch. We did not go hungry.

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Service as always was outstanding! Juan our cabin steward was great, he gave great advice for where to go at ports since we didn’t have excursions booked. He even loaned me a book to read since I read everything I brought. Randolph, Gil and Siriat were the best at anytime dining in the MDR. We requested their station all but 2 nights. Employees were constantly cleaning. I wish I could give 10 stars ⭐️ ❤️

Ship tip
This is a great ship with lots of places in common areas to sit and people watch!
We took a taxi to a market, which due to government regulations was only about 1/3 open. From there we walked to free beach access by the police station. We walked along the beautiful beach past massive resorts that were closed, also due to government regulations , so we were told. It was very sad. We saw only 6 other people. At the end of the island it appeared that 1-2 resorts were open.
To those who commented on Key West - yes Key West was pulled from the itinerary and replaced with Bimini, then Bimini was canceled so we did not port there and no alternate.
Excursion in Freeport was canceled, so overall very limited options to do anything.
We booked this cruise kinda last minute and Bimini was already listed as the port. I have heard that originally it was Key West, but I’m not for sure on that.
