Review summary

Overall, this was an enjoyable experience for my husband and I!! The service on the ship and the personalities of the staff was 1st CLASS!! There were so many different things to do and see. The only thing I would say is choose the time of the year wisely!! We choose a summer cruise... IT WAS VERY HOT... I'm an avid sun worshiper and I COULD NOT LAY in the sun on board because it was so hot! On the beach in Nassau I laid in the sun for a 1/2 hour and was FRIED!! SUNBLOCK YOURSELF!! I LEARNED!!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
It was a little chaotic, but maybe that was because we had no idea what to expect... hopefully next time will be easier.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We were happy with the breakfast and lunch options and buffets!! But the food at dinner was not very good at all. Everything tasted convection oven cooked and very dry. The best thing we had was the Caesar Salad until we went to the Steakhouse and paid to eat!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the activities on board, as well as the giveaways at the jewelry store! My husband and I were lucky enough to win different things, 1 each night, from a random ticket drawing! =)

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Children's Programs

no kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service on the Ship was EXCELLENT, in every form and stage of our cruise. We especially LOVED the ALCHEMY BAR!! Guliya, Zoran, & Bojan were exceptional hosts and very professionally trained, as well awesome mixologists & bar servers! LOVED THEM! Our Stateroom steward, JHOE, was awesome and provided us with everything we needed and went beyond and above to make sure our stay was perfect. A HUGE SHOUT OUT TO ALL MENTIONED ABOVE!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was very clean and beautiful on the ship!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was just what we needed, although the next cruise my husband and I will DEFINITELY get a BALCONY ROOM!

Nassau just was not very clean by the port... we didn't know what to expect.. next time we will be more informed and educated upon arrival to any port!!

VERY good recommendation concerning the sun. Many folks complaining about the hot Summer and MANY pictures showing sun burnt skin. Sun block for sure!
