Review summary

This ship is a Conquest-class size. Not too big, not too small, just right, specially for the amount of time of the cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was very quick, the quickest one yet I have experienced by far. Bus dropped us off Port Canaveral by 11:00am and by 11:30am I was already having lunch at the Lido deck after dropping off my carry-on luggage to my room.

It’s a Conquest-class ship and I love the Conquest so by default I love this one too. lol. Exact same layout as the Conquest, just different names of the dining rooms, event rooms, etc.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I usually get rooms from the 7th deck on up to be closer to everything. This time I chose the first deck so I can get more flights for my Fitness Rings. If I didn’t know any better or if it’s just my imagination, the hallways are wider and the rooms are a wee bit bigger 🤔. The nightstand in my room had USB-C and USB ports with a regular power outlet.

Ship tip

Bring a 220v converter and a power strip to have more outlets for charging, etc.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Traffic was light but we were there early as well and there were 3 other ships there.

Bimini, Bahamas Did not visit port

Weather-related / Safety issues prevented us visiting the island.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
As someone else has said before in this forum “Nassau, necessary evil”🤣

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
I had Lido breakfast at 6:00am. We docked by 7:00am and cleared US Customs by 7:30am. I was milking my time until required checkout 8:30am and on the road to the airport by 9:00am. It was surprisingly too quick and easy for me.
