Review summary

Really great time. Small boat so less to do. Shows were great. 2 of 3 comedians were hilarious. Cruise director and comedy director were both awesome and funny. Very windy weather which affected our excursions in 2 ports. Plus the wind made top deck seem colder than it was. If you wanna participate in activities and get a seat you have to get there early. The main dining room always had good food relatively good service and an entertaining show. You can always find a bartender that’s open you just have to go to one that’s nearby wherever your activity is lol. The room was the typical room size. The ship was nice.

Lots of choices! We definitely overate!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Hot tubs were always packed so couldn’t really enjoy them. Pools weren’t bad, but it was very windy which made it seem colder than it was. Kids didn’t want to go to Circle C or Camp Ocean so we didn’t experience that. Slides were ok, but it was super windy on top deck so hard to enjoy. Yellow slide was slow, but green slide was really fun though. Didn’t use the fitness center. Stayed on deck 2 and 3 for most activities when not at the pool.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
The casino bar very rarely has a line so I always went there when the other bars were packed. Alchemy bar had the worst service as well as the female bartender for the lido lounge was not a nice person. Room steward was awesome. Waitstaff were nice, but service was often slow in main dining hall. Shows were fun to watch in main dining hall. Cruise director, Leigh, was great.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

Normal cabin size.

Ship tip

It is a smaller ship so less to do. Definitely book shore excursions early. If you want to get in hot tub, then you have to go early. If you want a deck chair you have to go early. Karaoke is almost impossible to get a seat. Comedy club is also difficult to get a seat.

Ports of call

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Shore excursion canceled due to weather, but this port has a beach and a huge pool so still had awesome time.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5
Shore excursion canceled due of weather which sucked as there is nothing to do at the port. You can take a $7 taxi ride to a beach and pay $12 per person to go to beach, but it was overcast so we didn’t do that.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

Great detailed review. This really helps others. Too bad the weather was bad. Sorry to hear of crowded ships again. It sure was nice with reduced capacity.
