Review summary

It was enjoyable and worth the money. Wifi and phone access is extremely limited. The wifi / internet package was very limited even if you buy the premium package so it forces you to relax.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
All went as planned. Process was well organized and didn't take long at all

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We ate in main dinning room most times necause the lido deck buffet is kind of routine.

Entertainment

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
My 6 yr old grandson enjoyed kids camp

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Wait staff in dinning room and room stewards were exceptional

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Staff is constantly cleaning the ship. The ship is a bit dark and gaudy but well attended to

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Not big at all but surprisingly lots of cabinet and drawer space. If you don't spend a lot of time in your room an oceanview window room would be enough

Ports of call

Baltimore, Maryland

4 out of 5
Convinient on expressway exit leads right to pier. I wouldn't recommend any activities in baltimore. Herion addicts frequent the harbor and downtown district

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Excellent beach, we utilized the free beach at margarita ville and it was great. Waiters will frequent the beach taking orders. Shopping a few steps away. Water is beautiful turqouise.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

2 out of 5
HOT! This place was unbearably hot, no shadr, no trees, the island is not inhabited. 45 ppl stay there to maintain the island for tourists. Cruise staff warns you about the heat and getting off the ship (none of them get off here) they say ppl always come back with sun poisoning.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5
Boat pulls up the shopping district only a few feet from the boat. Excellent Caribbean food. Good excursions but the boat only stays about 5 hours and it takes an hour to get off the boat.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Not quite as organized as boarding but we had no problems

@KRoc I get the wifi package for fun, so I can do live and send pics to family and friends. Also, because once in a while I have had to call home and had to get the package anyways and feel that when I get it ahead of time it is always cheaper then when I get it once on the ship.

yes! for those of us who try to sneak work emails in from time to time. limited wifi forces you to be totally on vacation. all in all, no complaints here!!
