Review summary

Definitely enjoyed this cruise! Great 28th anniversarymoon!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Perfect, even for a silent embark this was so well planned, explained, and guided that we were extremely comfortable. We love Charleston and are saddened to hear they do not want the ships to embark there. It's terrible as Charleston offers so much for a traveler.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was okay. The meatball sandwich at the deli was my absolute favorite. The lava cake paired with peanut butter was truly an indulgence, I had 3...

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We greatly enjoyed the epic rock show and the comedians, especially the long haired one! Mini golf was so fun, the slides were a blast even with the risk of wedgies (we are in our 50s but it was like we were teenagers again!) The pools... They were crowded but we did enjoy them. The spa... We had a spa balcony and felt it was a waste as the spa did not have the thermal pool and there was a foul odor in the spa so we only visited briefly, it would have been more economical to just book a standard balcony though we truly loved the location of our room (10106).

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Epic rock show and comedians were great. Tj is an awesome cruise director.

Children's Programs

Our children are grown adults, we have no grandchildren. I felt there were far too many children allowed to roam the ship on the late hours.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I Wayun was our steward. I wish I could give him a 100 stars, he was perfect! The anytime dining we chose meant we had different wait staff daily, but they were all excellent. Izra stood out to us, he went above and beyond!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I didn't like having to go up to go down to our dining room, but other than that it's a beautiful ship with a friendly layout.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
IWayun kept our room tidy and the ice bucket full. The man deserves a huge raise!! Location of cabin was great, but spa was not worth the added cost. Always booking balcony for us from here on out!

Ship tip

Ride those slides, go to the shows, visit the ports even if you've heard they are awful (highly recommend the must sea in Nassau tour on air conditioned bus), bring snorkle gear for half moon cay, decorate your door to make it easier to find, be social!!!

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

5 out of 5
No excursion, we love visiting Charleston and are saddened to learn they no longer was to be a debarking port.. they will lose tons of revenue.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
We loved hmc. We brought our own snorkle gear and truly enjoyed swimming with so many fish.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It was so very sad that it had to end!
