Review summary

Relaxing because we made it so! Stayed away from crowds when we could and made the best of probably just an alright situation

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Rushed but seemed streamline. Security was a joke however someone next to us had their tampered wine bottles confiscated. The staff were very nonchalant about it all.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
MDR was lacking in flavor. We ended up paying for Jijis however though they used fresh herbs it was not worth the extra cash. Lido deck and burgers had the best food and flavor if that tells you anything

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Could tell not much was going on due to limited staff. Only had one show. We did not participate in slides or parties but they did have something going on consistently. Just not our cup of tea

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff was excellent and always moving and cleaning!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was very clean and though there were some rust spots the furniture an decor was above my expectations

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Clean and comfortable. Window had some salt and rust but it was an over-all pleasant experience

Ship tip

Prepare to be shuffled around. Want to film something? No time. Just move with the pack

Ports of call

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
Lovely beach. Waves were a bit rough and made snorkeling difficult but still worth it. Brought our own "recreation" on the island and it was easy

Charleston, South Carolina

5 out of 5
We stayed and had breakfast and enjoyed the market. Could spend more time there

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We saw people exiting and did the same. Exited with our own luggage. Bused to an exit closer to cars and it was air-conditioned

Thank you for your review. We absolutely love HMC. In the 6 or 7 times we were there never a wave. It was almost like a lake.
