Review summary

Overall it was a great cruise. Some improvements are essential

Embarkation

3 out of 5
It was very slow and too many stations to visit before getting on ship

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Didn’t go to dining room cause we don’t like how long we have to wait for food to come but the specialty restaurants were great with service and food quality. Buffets were also very good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pools were too crowded with kids and hot tubs were way to crowded with college kids. We enjoyed the trivia activities and the casino

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The playlist shows were subpar but Miguel the comedy host was fantastic. The comedy shows were very good. Love bingo and deal or no deal. The love and marriage show is by far my favorite show on the ship. So hilarious

Children's Programs

No kids traveled with us

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All service and staff were amazing They always have a positive attitude

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The common areas were well maintained but our cabin needed some updating. Cabin 10139 on our first cruise was very dingy and old looking.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
This cabin was okay. Didn’t like the layout of the bathroom. Sitting on toilet you have one foot in shower and the other one on the floor but overall great cabin

Ship tip

Don’t go in expecting a perfect ship. The sunshine needs some updating around the ship

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

1 out of 5
Hated Charleston The design is horrible and I didn’t like the shuttle bus to ship

Bimini, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Bimini was great loved radio beach. We rented a golf cart and drove around the island. We felt pretty safe.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5
Princess cays is great but too many rocks in the water. I could deal with rocks in the water but holy crap there were big boulders in the water. I hurt my feet several times. I don’t think I will return there.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It was a lot smoother that embarkation.
