Review summary

Overall great experience. The staff was great.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
I purchased the Faster to the Fun, so we were through the lines and on the ship in no time at all.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I think that the food was "OK," not great. We loved the Blue Iguana on the ship, and thought Guy's Burgers were just ok. The food in the dining room left me wanting more always. We opted for the buffet on two of the nights because we did not like anything that was being offered in the dining room. I was a little surprised that there are selections in the dining room that you have to pay for now. The filet, lobster, and other steaks are no longer included.

BlueIguana Cantina

5 out of 5

The food was so very good. We at several different things on a few separate days, and it never disappointed.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We absolutely loved the Serenity deck. It could get really crowded at times, but then again, so was every available spot on the ship. The Spa....I really have no words. We went on the first day for the tour and thought it all looked great, but were a little shocked by the prices. Being our honeymoon, we received a $50 spa gift card on our bed one day as a gift. I was going to go and get a pedicure, and when I went to the spa to inquire on the price, I was told it was $70. No problem, I would use the gift card and pay the remainder. Well when the lady asked if I had any gift cards, and I said yes, she then said, "Well the pedicure can't be purchased along. You have to get the mani/pedi, and that is $120." No thank you. We did not end up using the gift card, or going back to the spa.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Anything that Donkey did was hilarious, and the comedy shows were great too.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
I found the staff to be top notch. The only place that we got much less than friendly service was at the pizza counter. The guy was overwhelmed every single time we were there, and was less thank friendly. He definitely needs some help at that station.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We had no issues with our room, or with other areas on the ship. I found everything to be clean and nice looking.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was plenty roomy enough for the two of us, and everything was in working order. The bed was nice and comfy, maybe a little too soft for my liking, but the room was always clean.

Ship tip

Always head to the back buffet. The lines were so long at the front one, but in the back, there was hardly anyone ever in line.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
It was easy to navigate.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
I don't know that we will be cruising to the Bahamas again. Our excursion was canceled for rough waters, so we chose to just eat lunch in Nassau and shop around. Senor Frogs was good, but the staff was very slow. The view is amazing though. Walking around to the shops, I was offered marijuana several times. We just started ignoring people and walking into the nearest shop. I found the locals to be VERY pushy.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5
The beach was gorgeous. We went back to the ship for lunch, so I don't have much to report there.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Excellent. We were off of the ship, back to our car at the park and ride, and on the road by 7:45. FTTF is definitely the way to go.
