Review summary

Loved the cruise plan to book again. Most relaxed vacation I have ever taken.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Long walk to check in with little shuttle service to check in. But service to ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Everyone is so friendly, food was decent, the juice was always lemonade except in morning, and the tea has no sugar.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We went to 5 shows 2 comedy(comedian struggled), 3 stage shows (awesome), and multiple country concerts with the same performer. The pool side movies we good.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Stage shows were amazing, DJ was entertaining at the pool.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was so friendly, don't set you plate down or they will whisk it away. Room Steward was awesome he knew us by name and always greeted us by name.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
They are constantly cleaning so no build up of a mess. Once you get the lay out it is simple.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The drop down bed was like sleeping on a hospital bed. The pull out coach and the bed were good.

Ship tip

Don't take soda's just take water additives. Get the ship app to find activities absolutely needed. get good rolling suitcases

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

3 out of 5
Long walk to get to check-in with one shuttle . It's closing anyway.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

4 out of 5
Crowded beach. a few souvenir shops, water was crystal clear, dress to swim its the only thing to do. Long walk through sand to beach..

Nassau, Bahamas

2 out of 5
Did an excursion of a Historical tour with fish fry. Don't waste your money on the tour. It was informative but no time to actually look around. Long walks to the sites but your only given 20 to 30 minutes most of that time is walking to and from the site. Most of the area is slums. The fish fry was a small restaurant with rude staff but the food was decent. Tour director was well liked on island and had influence.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Half mile long waiting lines to get a shuttle with you having all you luggage. Had to walk 2 miles to get to car and comeback to pick up family
