Review summary

We took this cruise in 2009. In 2015, we decided to travel with the same ship to different ports: Nassau, Half Moon Cay and Grand Turk Island. This ship had gotten old: torn beach towels, yellow stain toilet seat and broken benches. We noticed quality of buffet food used to be better. In addition, extra $ and noticible fee increase applied to  special dessert/coffee stations/ behind the scene tour and spa services. However, The Guy Burger station was exceptional. The entertainments were wonderful from  comedy punchliners, musicals to all evening and magic shows. My children enjoyed teenagers' clubs. Service and stuffs were as usual: warm and courteous. All three destinations allowed ample time to relax and  to enjoy water sports. There were plenty of things to do to keep one busy. There was also plenty of time to relax on sea days.

Overall, I recommend this cruise ship for the value, entertainment, destinations and, for a fun New Year celebration time with everyone on board!

toilet seat had permanant yellow stain. Looks unpleasant. Wish it was changed.

Ship tip

Try to go to all shows: very entertaining and you can win some prices here and there. Don't need to book private cabin at Half moon cay. The cruise line provided inclusive BBQ lunch for everyone at the private island.

Enjoyed this cruise, also. Sailed in 2013 and the ship was upgraded since then so we enjoyed the new amenities. Didn't see any torn towels or broken benches and bathrooms were good. Quality of buffets seem to be the same across the board cuz the Breeze was no better. There's always been a price to the specialty coffee/dessert bars since I've sailed. Add Port Canaveral and it's a hit.
