Review summary

I enjoyed the time with my wife and two daughters! My oldest daughter is getting married in February. This was a time to get away before our family grew. I can't say all was perfect, but we had a great time regardless!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easily got on the ship once we got to the port. Lines were long, but moved quickly!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I enjoyed the dining room the most. We had a great experience every night. Pizza bar was slow!

Pizzeria del Capitano

3 out of 5

Very slow and pizza was like a frozen pizza you would make in the oven.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Loved the slides! Enjoyed lido deck movies at night.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The shows were good, I was hoping for more shows geared toward Christmas!

Children's Programs

No children that age traveling with family.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All staff was wonderful! We had "Z" for our dining room Waiter and "Yowman" (spelling?)...for room steward. Both were excellent!!!

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was good, but hated that there was a deck with hot-tub directly below our balcony. Guests were loud and for that reason we could never enjoy the balcony!

Ship tip

Make sure your balcony is not on the 6th floor! You will deal with noise from fevk below and have no privacy.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Went on a guided tour of the island. Enjoyed this very much!

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5
No excursion. No pool or beach, just a little shopping near the ship. If port here in the future we will definitely plan to do an excursion. Otherwise, stay on the ship.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Wasn't the fault of the crew. I think more people than normal decided to carry their own luggage off. I went down at the time directed, but got caught in a traffic jam of people three stair-flights long. It took a long time to get off the ship.
