Review summary

We enjoyed it and I appreciate they were trying to keep us safe but felt like we really didn't get our money worth. Our toilets were messed up one day and only flushed sporadically for some reason. I may try another cruise some day but definitely not during hurricane season.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The embarkation was okay but there was no where to sit and eat and was a little bit chaotic when we were supposed to.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I think the burrito bar should be open longer hours and there was no Coke available the last two days. Otherwise the food was delicious and the choices were great. From the dinner at night to the omelets made to order the food was delicious!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Not the fault of the ship, but the rain kind of kept us from getting to enjoy the pools and the putt putt course only had one ball to play with.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows were great and the staff did a great job of putting together a movie time when we could not go to Freeport.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Rechie was our room steward and was very helpful and did a great job making sure we were well taken care of. Uberney and Deddy were our waiters and were very helpful with helping us make food selections. They were very friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
More outlets would be helpful in the cabins but I think everything was clean and laid out well.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The layout was pretty good. Could use more outlets.

Ship tip

Don't go during hurricane season because you're not going to get to go to all of your stops. Bring a power strip for charging devices and a hairdryer. Bring Mountain Dew because there are none.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
We did not do an excursion here. I felt like the parking area and boarding area was a little confusing to navigate. Need more signs to show how to enter the parking area.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
It was okay. I guess if I had done more than walk to Junkaroo Beach I might have enjoyed it more.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
This was my favorite time of the trip. It was beautiful. I wish the weather had been better so we could have had more time there to enjoy it. The food was great also.

Grand Turk Island Did not visit port

Because of the hurricane and then the replacement of Freeport got canceled too. I just felt like $11 back for missing out on this wasn't sufficient.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
It would have been better if the people had stayed on the decks they were supposed to until time for them to disembark. They need more people to monitor the stairs and send them back to stop the confusion and help with smoother disembarking.
