Had a nice relaxing vacation! Serenity area is a real gem. 3 decks, could always find a spot. Was nice in the evening also, lots of places to spread out and read a book.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Always saw someone cleaning or making repairs. The only area I never got the hang of was 4 aft trying to get to the Limelight for comedy. Watch which elevator if going to 11-14 Serenity, only certain ones go that far up.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Inside Spa room on 10. Only had 2 in room so it was perfect. Room had everything we needed. Great location. Easy to get to Lido and Serenity.

Ship tip

Don't forget to check out the Havana Bar area during lunch or for a good espresso. Great views, almost never crowded, made to order Mongolian or Pasta!

Ports of call

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
There is no shade unless you can get a spot next to a cabana. We did a clam shell. Make sure you get there early. People were walking around looking for one and they were all gone. The further down the beach you go the less crowded.

Charleston, South Carolina

5 out of 5

Nassau, Bahamas

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Was easy, but felt long. Probably cause we were on 10 and did self assist. They started the checked bag disembark before we got to go.

You can reserve and pay for a clam shell way before your cruise.
