Review summary

Great cruise if your looking to just get away and relax. Kids had a great time. I would go again just for a cheap getaway. Food needs major improvement.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Food was lackluster. Often served tepid. Portion sizes were very small. Burger Bar was Good. Burrito Bar was constantly closed. Pizza was good but slow. Sandwich shop was ehh.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Small pools as to be expected. 1 of the 2 water-slides was broken. Limited entertainment options. Casino had a weird almost sterile feel to it.

Bimini, Bahamas

Don't go to Resort World. Nice, but WAY overpriced for a pool and a beach. Jump in a cab. Go to Radio Beach and grab some fresh Conch Fritters and Cold Beer! Water is nicer and you get to experience the real island.
