Review summary

Fun small family cruise! Great job with the music and dance variety to getting everyone up and moving. The Comedian was hilarious. The host was fun and entertaining. Musical theatric shows par. Food was delish!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Process was easy, i would just recommend larger Gate 2 sign for parking.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food was pretty good across the board. If you do not drink diet soda, you will waste money on the bubbles package until they are able to stock the non diet pepsi and sierra mist properly. Only diet options were available and no orange crush at all. They are working on it. But it's good to know ahead of time.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
My son enjoyed the pool, slides and O2 activities. We loved the comedian Valerie Storm and the activity director TJ. The lido deck dance parties were fun and lively as expected.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The DJ Surge was great. The live singers/musians were awesome. The other stage performers were sub par in my opinion compared to other cruises my family and I have sailed. Ocean was funny and kept the crowd entertained for her bingo sets and trivia games. The other 2 gentleman need new material. Having multiple baby mama's and always yelling for Popo was annoying.

Children's Programs

4 out of 5
O2 was good for my son and he's 15.

Cabin / Stateroom

Nothing special. It did the job!

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

4 out of 5
Other than the parking entrance for gate 2 needing to be bigger and directions to enter clearer and accurate... no problem. Charleston is nice!

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
Loved the beautiful beach! We arrived early so we had no problems getting our clamshell and spot. It rained hard for about 20 min so it was worth it.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
What we expected. We didn't go too far from the ship. So typical high price souvenirs. I did enjoy a local plate of fried snapper tenders. Well worth the $18.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy no hassle. Loved that organization and swift process all the way to the buses to the parking lot. They do a great job with that.
