Review summary

Very enjoyable and relaxing cruise. I recommend the Conch Train Tour of Key West. Very informative and entertaining even in the pouring rain. Ponchos were free.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Dining room was very good food but the buffet was just okay. Guys burgers were excellent and the pizza was good but slow.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Did not do much of any but that which we did was okay and some times hard to hear either due to the volume of their microphones or their accents.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
For what we we attended, the shows were good. We saw 4 comics where one was excellent, Lenny Schmidt, two were very good and the last one was okay.

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Dining room staff was superb and very entertaining. Room steward was good and had a nice sense of humor.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship is dated but still was nice. I think it goes into dry dock in 2024.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Balcony cabin up on the spa deck was nice size, comfortable, and quiet.

Ship tip

The dings on the elevators are two dings for down and on ding for up. We only figured the pattern out near the end of the cruise. It is hard to acturally see the arrows lit.

Ports of call

Key West, Florida

5 out of 5
Conch train was super even though it poured rain on us.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

4 out of 5
No excursion

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Our see "Nassau by boat" excursion was cancelled at the last minute due to a fuel pump problem on the boat. Our money was refunded after I made a call to the excursion booking company we used as the boat had not contacted them telling them they cancelled.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy when you take off your own luggage. Direct to a taxi and on to the airport in less than 30 minutes.

Appreciate your feedback. I have shared the ding information with others at the beginning of a cruise. Those people often seek me out to tell me I’m right. It makes me chuckle. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.

I meant to say it is two dings for down and one ding for up on the elevators but I am a lousy typist.
