Review summary

This was my first time cruising. I usually fly to a destination. Overall I had a good time but there are Pros and cons. The pros are, great food and drinks available all day, free room service, staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, spa was awesome. Entertainment was great, especially the comedy shows. Cons, this ship was overcrowded, long lines, too many kids (but it was during holiday season), the ship needs to be refurbished. The decor reminded me of a old casino. The adult only area is really too small for the amount of adults on a cruise ship. However, I had a good time. Met some of the locals off the ship and did a little shopping and went to a few bars and restaurants.

The on-boarding process is a nightmare. Get there early!

I absolutely loved South Beach, Miami. I stayed an extra day after my cruise to Nassau, Bahamas. the Beach was lovely! My hotel had a rooftop bar area!

The Bahamas was a nice getaway but honestly the only nice parts are the resorts.

This was definitely a party ship for the weekend cruise, I’m looking forward to a longer, relaxing cruise.

I would cruise to the Bahamas again. Maybe another cruise line in the future.

A 3 night cruise is way too short. And those are what I’ve heard are the drinking cruises. Glad to see your next cruises will be longer. Cruising is the best vacation ever 🏝🛳
