Review summary

Spa treatments I feel are over priced along with the excursions.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Went very fast even without the fast to fun tract. We arrived early and glad that we did. I'm a combat veteran and don't like crowds.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I was not impressed by the main dining room, wait staff could have done a better job. The Steakhouse was very enjoyable well worth the cost. Buffets had good selections and staff was very courteous and very accommodating to request or need.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The Serenity deck was awesome, NO KIDS!!! The serenity pool was nice and the hot tub was very nice to use in the evening. Fitness room was very well equipped.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The stage show's were awesome. The comedy shows were awesome also. Adam cruise director was awesome!!!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward Putu was the best part of our cruise. He knew our names and spoke to us by name everytime he seen us. Our room was well maintained and we didn't have to ask for anything because it was there before we could ask for any items.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The staff were non-stop cleaning. There were always someone cleaning everywhere we went.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Pillows were the only thing I can ask to change. Not firm enough, went flat which woke me though out the night to have to fluff up to go back to sleep.

Ship tip

Take lots of money, the spa treatments are expensive.

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

5 out of 5
No excursions, we prefer to just walk around and see what we see and experience.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
No excursions, we snorkeled and enjoyed the meal that was provided. Just have to be aware that the other people on the cruise don't have any manners and don't control their brats!

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
No excursions, enjoyed walking around and shopping (again take lots of money with you). The experience was very nice and will likely do it agin.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
The second option is the way to go. CHECK your luggage and try to get the low numbers for your baggage. Our number was 14 and we were still off the ship by 0915 and back to our vehicle by 0930. It would have been nice if people would load the transportation buses from the back to the front, would make it much more efficient.
