Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was excellent, but Miro (Maitre D) in Sunrise Dining Room was very helpful to us and our Assistant Restaurant Hostess, Menchie was one of the highlights of the cruise for us.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Great cabin, superb location. Just aft of the Alchemy Bar on Deck 5. This is at the end of the Promenade Deck which has the Alchemy Bar, Piano 88, Casino, Bonsai Sushi, and the Showroom along it's path. Easy to get to everything from you cabin or quickly get back if you need a light jacket for the showroom. No noise, large cabin, LOVE this cabin-would definitely book it again.

Ship tip

Do a back to back if you can.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
The port did a great job efficiently getting you onto the ship and they did it quickly without lines or a lot of waiting.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

3 out of 5
Beach is nice but the bottom is a little rocky (wear water shoes and it's no problem). Ship provided free picnic lunch.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Went to church on Sunday and the John Watling's Distillery. Easy walk from the ship.

Bimini, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Love this port. We did the Resorts World Beach and Pool ($40 each). It was very nice. Tram which picks you up at the dock is free, the whole thing is well done, extremely informational and very safe
