Review summary

We had a great time. Went in beginning of September so very few children. Staff was nice. Entertainment was sporadic. I do wish there was more live music at the pool deck, less DJ, but that's just me. It was nice that there was no "sexy leg/belly flop, etc contests" at the pool. It's definitely for a more mature crowd. Although I was disappointed there was no towel animals. :)

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Some performers were excellent, solo guitarists Ardee and Chenoa. I didn't care for the Boy Band theme production, especially being average age of the cruisers were 60s, seemed like an odd choice. It was also their deck party entertainment.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

This was definitely one of the friendliest ship staff we've ever encountered. They seemed to be genuinely happy to serve and appreciate their job. The only negative would be the wait staff in the buffet needed to improve so tables were cleared for people to sit.

Ship tip

Be aware that the classic drink package does not cover many cocktails. You can either pay the difference or purchase the premium package, which covers most drinks.

If you're going to Bimini, take the excursion to Bimini Beach. It's about $54 and includes one cocktail and transportation. If you do not, you're limited to small Paradise Beach which smells like sewage when the wind blows a certain direction.

Appreciate your feedback. I guess it’s a trade off: towel animals and a youthful crowd or a mature crowd and no towel animals. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.
