Review summary

Loved it and can't wait to book another! The kids had an amazing time. Half of our group was first timers and now they are cruise addicts too!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and easy despite the multi-step process. It took us less than an hour once we checked our luggage. No real waiting around.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Excellent as always!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We did pretty much everything offered this time. Slides were super fast! The sky course thing was a challenge that made my niece and I so proud to have completed the whole course. Splash pad was great for the little ones. Oh, and my teen nephew had his first slow dance and first kiss at the teen club!!! Amazing family vacation.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
I didn't get to see everything but the ones I did see were great!

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
The littles didn't go but the bigger kids enjoyed the pre-teen and teen clubs!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Top notch as usual.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Beautiful! Liquid lounge smelled of sewage when we first arrived for debarkation but the smell has now gone. Gonna miss this ship!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Interior cabin 5314 was cozy and close to the elevators. Noise wasn't too bad either.

Ship tip

Flip-flops or shoes are a must as the deck gets HOT during the day.

Ports of call

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
Simply stunning. Pictures don't do it justice.

Charleston, South Carolina

5 out of 5
Fast and efficient embarkation.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Not my favorite but the kids got some cute souvenirs at a reasonable price.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Doing it now but so far everything is calm.

Traveler Photos

On the tender heading back to the boat. Looks like a pool and is Soo calm! We could see fish swimming! We loved how they used our stuffed animals with the towel animals.
