Review summary

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Simple to navigate to the terminal, agents ready to receive guests, documents in hand and escorted to the ship..easy peasy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The dinning rooms were elegant and accommodated plenty of guests, and timing is everything.. a good selection of specialty restaurants was nice and the buffets were excellent service and choices of cuisine choices.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Whirl pools, three of which one in serenity, and a beautiful waterfall flowing down into the pool below. There was a smaller shallower pool for youngsters as well.. The sky walk was a bit much for me but the water slides were fantastic , the music and fun atmosphere were enjoyable.. The shows were fun and mostly PG. That's important to me.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Performers were all very good quality, went to nearly all shows...

Children's Programs

Not traveling with children this time

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The stewards are very professional and personable, Tony and Nina took care of our cabin, Sushi and Isabel were our waitresses in the dinning rm and lido deck, along with Chef Vidon and the sous chefs and waiters...very nice cruise trip to get a break from our cold climate this year...

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was a bit of a challenge to get from one end to the other on sevral decks, you need to navigate from different levels than some other ships I've been on, but the decor and openness are welcoming and enjoyable

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Clean, cozy , comfortable.. large shower was nice in a small bathroom but had everything we needed for the cruise..comfortable beds and pillows/sheets/bedspread.. location was excellent, near elevator straight up to lido not much noise or motion.. would like that room again. had plenty of closet and drawer space for two.. laundry service too..

Ship tip

Download the hub app and you'll have a ship map hand at all times and know what activities are happening where and how to get there , easy peasy

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

I personally stay aboard the ship to take advantage of the hot tubs and roominess of the decks to explore the ship...it was wonderful, that was my excursion..

Nassau, Bahamas

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
This ship has a silent disembarkation, however we had priority status so we were first off with escorts right after having breakfast and off we went
