Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Loved the way this ship is laid out. Had no problem navigating it. It was very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
For a family of four (11 and 4 year old) the size of the room was actually not crowded. I loved how comfortable our bed was. We wiped down our cabin first day and Lysol Wipe came off not dirty at all. Cabin very cleaned

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

5 out of 5
It was our embarking and disembarking port but we had a lot of fun in Charleston for going down two days early.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
No excursion but we walked four hours in Nassau doing an excursion of our own. Fort Finn Castle, Queens Staircase, John Waitlings Distillery, Graycliff chocolate factory, very easy to get around Nassau

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

Could not tender. We went to Freeport instead and had a good time in port shopping

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy to do.
