Review summary

We were really disappointed in the food. And there were SO many people on board. It may have been better without the mask requirement as more people would have gone indoors. But it seemed like the entire population was outside all the time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food in the main dining room was just OK. My lobster was burnt and we were still charged $20 for it. But my husband's steak was good. The burger joint and the taqueria were fantastic. The buffet left little to be desired. It had strange combinations and was missing staples, like cocktail sauce for shrimp.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

The aft pool was great. It was nice and peaceful and the staff was phenomenal. The forward pool was extremely loud and obnoxious. We couldn't sit at a table and talk.

Entertainment

We didn't attend.

Children's Programs

No children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone was beyond wonderful!! We didn't have one bad experience with any staff at any time.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

It was very clean. And the layout was good, keeping the noise forward so there was peacefulness in the aft.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

There was plenty of room. We loved having the balcony and the bed was very comfortable.

We should have been told ahead of time that we wouldn't be able to explore the island. They only let us wander through a VERY touristy section, to spend money on trinkets I suppose. If we'd known, we would've just stayed on the ship.

Bimini, Bahamas

4 out of 5

We did the bimini beach excursion but only stayed for about 15 minutes. We tried to rent a golf cart but they ran out. We got a taxi and went to the other end of the island. It was nice. The best part was the restaurant we went to and the taxi ride back. The driver was very informative and shared some really good information about the island and it's history.
