Review summary

Overall, we had a very good time. The staff and food was very good. The excursion on Bimini Island was the biggest disappointment of the entire cruise, second was the extremely dirty windows.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Not bad, just confusion on where to be dropped off at.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was very good overall.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Pools were VERY small. They looked more like hot tubs.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Show were really good. Most of the DJ's played nothing but hip hop, which not everyone is a fan of.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The staff were excellent.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Every window on the ship is filthy and the ship needs repainted, rust everywhere.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Stateroom was small but we had large windows and a balcony which made it seem bigger.

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

4 out of 5

Bimini, Bahamas

1 out of 5

What a joke! Highly disappointed in the amount of shops and restaurants (lack of). If you're not into the beach or waters activities, stay on the ship.

Reminded me of the military.. Hurry up and wait. Elevators only going one way, many shut down, which caused confusion and long waits standing on the stairs with luggage.

We paid for a seat on a van and went to the Bimini downtime area shops. Thanks for your review.
