Review summary

Excellent ship, but not the itinerary for us. Will probably stick with western or southern Caribbean from now on

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy. Slight delay to get on but simple process once we got started. Facial id worked great

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
MDR was mediocre at best. Guys and blue iguana were delicious as always. Lunch buffet left much to be desired. BBQ was terrible except the pulled pork and Mac and cheese. Sushi and deli were bomb at any time

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Lots going on and always something to do. Production shows are back and were a hit

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Production showed were great and fun squad was on point

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Per usual

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
A little wear and tear, nothing that really detracted from her beauty except for a random pair of crusty panties? that ended up on our deck

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Was so much better than previous reviews had let on. Excellent location, no noise, comfortable temp, and nice layout

Ship tip

Avoid the mdr unless there’s something you really want to try. Wasn’t really worth the time spent just to want to grab a snack at 830 because we didn’t eat our dinners

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

5 out of 5
We love New Orleans. The culture, food, and history are perfect. That said, French quarter after about 3pm is not my thing

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5
Taking a taxi was a hassle as they all but refused to take us to paradise cove, asking for 80pp each way, but offered to take us to pirates cove, 6pp each way, which they were obviously contracted to do so. Ended up at pirates cove, pretty beach but meh otherwise

Key West, Florida

4 out of 5
Beautiful place, rented bikes and explored the island

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Probably the best beach and water of our trip. Gorgeous and calm seas. Just have a lot of “no”s to drop as you’re asked to buy something every 12 feet

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Scheduled to dock at 8, we were off the ship and on the road home by 725.

The MDR is a full service restaurant dining experience. Yes it can be up to 2 hours for appetizers, salad, entrees and desserts to be served to everyone at the table. No different than on land. There are plenty of places to get quick serve foods.

We also enjoyed NO, what a cool place with great food, an yes it is really not our thing in the evening. But I would go back just for the days.
