Review summary

Amidst any negative review I typed, I would do this again because it was just fun and relaxing

Embarkation

4 out of 5
TOO HOT!!! Even inside the tents, it was just insanely hot and humid. Lines did move faster then expected, but…

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food selection was great. Good taste as well. The “buffet style” dining area was too hot and very rare to find seats

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I just wanted to relax, but the water sides were fun with the kids.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Only saw 2 comedy shows and they were both enjoyable. The piano bar guy also had a great voice

Children's Programs

I didn’t do or researched any of them

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Can’t complain. The room guy, Dewa, knew our names and kept our needs met

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Ship feels outdated, but it was kept clean

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very comfortable, good size, and great view to the back of the boat

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

3 out of 5
Outdated and hot

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

3 out of 5
It was a do-once-and-done type of deal. Beach was good, but not much in the island that caught my attention

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Great place to visit. City activities and secluded beach, all in one place

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
Couldn’t hear the monitors/ speakers for the groups called and took forever
