Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Adi in the reg frog pub was friendly and always had a smile! The dinner staff were always polite and attentive!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Trivia and bingo were fun!

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Performers were great. The comedy club is small and lines were long. There should be a sign on the doors stating the only one door will open don’t form line here. The door that opens should be clearly marked as form line here. Doors open @9.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Putra our room attendant was amazing! It was my husband’s birthday and he made sure to remember the day and make it special. He always greeted us by name and asked if he could get us anything.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean for an older ship!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

It was a bit warm we could have used a fun to help move some air. This was our first cruise so this may be normal in this type of room.

Ship tip

Leave the stress at home and just smile!

Nassau, Bahamas

Crowded and the local people are pushy. They made me uncomfortable to walk around and look at there goods.
