Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food was amazing and I don’t remember ever having to wait more than a few minutes for a drink anywhere on board. The waiters always had my favourite wine ready at my tab,e every night.

Tuscan Grille

We went here on our first night, which was also my 40th birthday. They treated us like royalty and we enjoyed every bite.

Mast Grill and Bar

Guest Relations And Excursions

4 out of 5

We had a horrible excursion in Nassau and it was entirely due to the description of it in the app. We returned early and promptly went to the excursion desk and explained the situation. Our money was refunded the next day.

Ship tip

Next time I’d like a balcony further forward. We were just behind the ‘bump’ and couldn’t watch port arrivals.

Nassau, Bahamas

Wasn’t overly impressed. Locals approached us to buy drugs. We withdrew cash from a machine that stated it had american cash but it gave us Bahamanian dollars that we are now stuck with, since no bank will touch it.

It’s too bad Capt Kate went to Edge in August. She was great!

Glad to see the good review, we are going on her March 2021. We have our cabin right on the bump so shouldn’t be obstructed from either back or front.
