Review summary

We drank, we ate, we napped, we were entertained and we relaxed.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
We were doing really well with embarking, we were told to go ahead and get on the ship, then some lady said I didn’t have enough stamps on my boarding pass so I need to go get some more. I asked where I go for that and she said, “I don’t know, try guest services “. My wife had the right number of stamps, we were side-by-side through the whole process, but I didn’t have enough stamps. Guest services was equally perplexed, so they just through some stamps on there and off we went.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Loved the beer selection at the red frog. Other drinks were good. Food was good. We did enjoy our meal at the steakhouse on day 1. And they had a wine that was really good.

Entertainment

Whoever their casting director is, they need to be replaced. The performers in the shows couldn’t sing any better than I can - you don’t want to hear me sing! The violin performance ms were good. Comedians were funny!

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
No one wished me a happy birthday, and I was wearing a button announcing my birthday. We told the waitress at the steakhouse that it’s my birthday and she said they celebrate that later, but never did and never said happy birthday. The room steward was very nice, but he only took care of the room once a day - my experience is that it’s twice: morning and evening. The lady that gave me a massage spent more time trying to sell me products, than she did massaging me. And she had no idea how to use bamboo- my upper back and neck were bruised, swollen and painful for a full day.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
This ship needs love. It was clean (except the tables after guests left them - they got picked up, but not cleaned). I don’t think this ship has been renovated in quite some time, and it looks it. The decor is old, it doesn’t make sense, and a lot of it is coming apart.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Smaller than what I am used to. It reeked of the smell of marijuana, and we decided they must be piping that smell in to cover up the bilge smell. The whole ship smells of bilge.

Ship tip

If you book the steakhouse, do so for day 1 and get a free bottle of wine with dinner. That’s the only night they do that.

Ports of call

Bimini, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Loved Bimini! The people were nice, the beach was clean, the water was clear and beautiful! We went to Beach 360 because the tram driver said that’s the free beach. It has rest rooms and you can rent beach toys, chairs & an umbrella ($69.99 for two chairs and an umbrella), there is a food truck (prices: $12-32 depending on item), and there is a beverage truck where cocktails are $16 no matter what you have. We had brought our own water, so we didn’t buy food or alcohol because we felt those prices were high & we didn’t need it. Had a really great time in the water and just relaxing.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Easy enough. Glad I woke up early because they want everyone off by 8:30AM.
