Review summary

This was a wonderful vacation, great ship and good service overall. To all those who complain about the food or the lines, guys, This is a budget cruise. If you wanted no lines on the Lido deck and big room, take a Cunard or Princess cruise. This was an affordable and awesome vacation!!!

Excellent food in Normandy, very good food on the Lido deck with several ethnic stations. The burritos, Chosticks stations and the burgers were amazing.

Onboard Activities

Lots to do for ALL age groups unless you are tired and need some quiet. We stayed in our room the first two days,really need the peace and quiet but after that lots to do through the day.

They had a Dr Seuss day with several characters meeting the kids, also they offered a eggs and ham lunch. Amazing!!! I even loved it.

Service and Staff

No problems on this ship with service or the staff. They were kind and always available if you needed help. They seemed a bit overworked but nice nonetheless.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The suites on this ships are smaller compared to other ships BUT very nice and comfortable. The steward was amazing!!!

Ship tip

Don't eat breakfast or lunch on the Lido Deck ( Mermaids Grill), it's too crowded up there, always long lines. Eat in Normandie instead. NO lines and you are waited on while the food in the same! Even better at times!!!

Ports of call

Baltimore, Maryland

Nassau, Bahamas

Cute town but so hot and crowded! We didn't do a tour or shore excursion but I wish we did, too crowded to sightsee on your own.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

5 out of 5
Great town, friendly people. We took the Downtown and Beer Factory tour, amazing and worth it. Highly recommended!!!
