Review summary

Nice but weather didn’t cooperate. Half Moon Cay made it all worthwhile.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Trying, because when checking in they did not have their scanner they use on passports for validation for CPAP approval.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Cabin steward was awesome. Balcony aft cabin 5297 was okay but had an annoying engine vibration. Although the view was great from an aft cabin, I would not book aft again....at least not the lower decks.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Yes the layout was easily maneuverable and the ship was clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The size, and cleanliness was good.

Ship tip

Be friendly and polite. Guest Services Tao is fantastic and so are the other members of the Guest Services staff.

Ports of call

Baltimore, Maryland

5 out of 5
No excursion- port of embarkation

Grand Turk Island

4 out of 5
Overcast but managed to swim, water was cool at first but then it was okay. Wear water shoes because of coral pieces.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
Beautiful beach, sand was like silk. No water shoes needed. Clear aqua water that was cool but was easy to get used to once you get shoulders wet.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island Did not visit port

Stayed on board. You have to take an excursion to get to the beach or anything. A very industrialized port and from last trip here (cruise in 2018) overpriced market at port.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Disorganization even though we had Faster to the Fun, bags were not ready so the call to disembark was called, cancelled, called, cancelled... once off the ship bags were easily found and porter put them on a cart and took to our vehicle.

Rain will finish off any vacation. We had a cruise where it rained all the time. We missed out on a lot, but what can you do?? Go on another cruise hope for better weather.
