Review summary

This was a mother/daughter post tax season quick get away. Time to relax, laugh, swim in the beautiful blue waters, and enjoy one another's company! Definitely a party ship vibe if you are looking for that sort of ship! No complaints from this group!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We did not eat at the buffet except to grab a yogurt/fruit as the times we went, food choices were minimal. They did not have a great variety of options. We did however, eat at the hamburger and taco places which were both good. We ate each night in the main dining room and did not have any complaints. Food was typically hot, portioned well, and tasted good. I would not rate the food as excellent as compared to other cruises I have experienced. The wait staff were accommodating and provided recommendations. The warm chocolate melting cake is still the best! We purchased the cheers package and did not have any complaints about any of the beverages we received. The Alchemy Bar was our favorite spot for a cocktail before dinner. Ivan, Anna, and Dragon were excellent bartenders!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We enjoyed the water slides, the rope climbing, and fitness center. Too many people for the size of the pools. Could definitely use a third pool. The serenity area could also use a pool and perhaps a bit more shaded spots in the heat.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The evening shows were enjoyable but certainly not the "best" we have seen. The music/dancing spots were definitely a fun spot to be. There were plenty of people dancing at the clubs which was a lot of fun!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Great service from all staff. Did not have any issues.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ships layout was easy. The down side that you have to walk through the casino to get to the other areas specifically other lounges. Cleanliness of ship was great!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The overall comfort size, and cleanliness of our cabin was positive. Slept well each night and had no complaints!

Ship tip

The serenity deck was a great place to escape the loud music on the lido deck. Bar service was great!

Nassau, Bahamas

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Make sure you have a passport for a super easy disembarkation! We zipped right through the lines! If you didn't have this, you spent a LONG time in line!
