Review summary

Had an excellent time. High points were the ship wait persons and staff, Nassau, and days at sea.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
The embarkation was smooth although y bags took a while to get to my room. Traffic for check in was miserable but it appears to be under construction.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was good everywhere we ate; the wait staff in the restaurants were excellent. bars may need additional personnel to keep drinks coming to guests.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
This is a n/a for me. Not my thing.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
We went to Latin Night and 80's Rock nights and enjoyed both, although song selection for 80's rock could have been better (Prince? Springsteen?)

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Best part of the trip was our dinner wait staff (should have written down names!) Can't remember!) and our room steward (Lydia). All went beyond the call of duty to make sure we were cared for.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Constant cleaning going on. Casino is gross with smoke, but I only walked through there once.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Spacious, clean, great linens. AT 6'5" the toilet was a little close, but that's not uncommon.

Ship tip

Take time to talk with the wait staff and stewards. They are dedicated and fascinating people.

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

5 out of 5
No excursion, but I've been to Charleston many times. Great town.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
I want to go back and visit for a more extended time period.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island) Did not visit port

My wife was sick.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Need to find some way to spend time between being asked to leave rooms to the time actually leaving the ship.
