Review summary

We didn't visit the ports because we've done them before and we enjoy the quiet ship. We really like the sunshine. It's clean, the staff are great, and the drinks go down smooth.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
The cruise before us was late returning due to weather, so we boarded late, not a big deal. We had faster to the fun so we were on the ship very quickly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Fahrenheit 555 steakhouse was so good, it was difficult to go to the mdr for dinner the next night. The bartenders in the casino were the best!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The slides are amazing! We did the ropes course which was fun but very windy. Lee, the cd was fantastic. I didn't go to the comedy club, but my husband did and he said it was good. Motown show was entertaining, love and marriage show was hilarious, the trivia was okay.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Like i said before, Lee was fantastic! We were parked next to carnival freedom in Nassau, and Lee started a competition with them to see who was having the most fun, we won hands down.

Children's Programs

We go on family vacation to be together. My kids went to the kids club one day for a couple hours and they had fun, but they weren't really interested in going back. We did do the build a bear activity together and the kids loved that.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Our room steward was okay, not terrible, but not fantastic either. My room stayed clean and that's the most important thing.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I was really shocked by how much storage we had in the room. There was no mini fridge, but we haven't used it the past anyway. We had family in the cabin next door and we were able to get the partition opened so we head an extra big balcony. The shower was bigger than other showers on cruises we've been on, but the sink was a little smaller. I wish the toilet paper was not next to the shower. It got soaked a couple times when the kids were taking showers.

Ship tip

Overall, the cruise was great and we met some awesome people. My biggest complaint was that we bought fttf and it seemed like a waste of money. Our bags didn't show until 7pm and we had dinner reservations at the steakhouse at 7. We missed hmc due to rough water, so we didn't use it there, and when we got off the ship, it didn't really save us any time there either, maybe 20 minutes.

Disembarkation

We were off the ship before 8am. According to their time schedule, it should have been 8:45. I missed breakfast that morning, but was pleased by how quickly they moved that morning.
