Review summary

Good 5 day cruise for the price. It’s great to be cruising again😀

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Our first time out of Charleston and different than any other. Strange being shuttled on a bus to the ship from the check in area but moved smoothly

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining was ok - plenty of choices but food was average. Lunch options were plentiful with Blue Iguana, Guy’s, pasta bar, deli and Mongolian wok. Only used the buffet area for salad bar. Drinks were outstanding as usual

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
There was always something going. Daily activities seemed plentiful

Entertainment

4 out of 5
One show was cancelled due to rough seas but they did provide an alternative. Of the 2 comedians, one was much more entertaining than the other

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Cabin steward was awesome and bar service on deck was great. I enjoyed the staff at Alchemy and the casino bar. Main dining service wasn’t bad but not nearly as personalized as other experiences

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship is showing some age but inside cleanliness was super. Not sure if the ship went through a recent storm or something but all windows were so dirty on the outside that it impeded the views. I don’t care for the ship design where you can’t get from end to end on the same floor

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Lots of storage, everything always clean

Ship tip

Relax and enjoy

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth. We were on deck 8 and carried off our luggage. Off the ship around 8. I like waiting in the cabins until you are called
