Review summary

The overall cruise was fantastic. My only complaint was about the photographers who no longer will take a picture for you with your phone. They want you to buy the picture package which I feel is way over priced for what you get. You no longer get printed photos either you get downloaded ones. I think it sucks that you are forced to buy something you don't want or maybe can't afford.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was very organized. Had to get tested and cleared before being allowed to board but once you do all that it is a seamless process.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The restaurants were excellent and could get as much as you wanted. The buffet was good but same food every day.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Played bingo, rode the aquaduck water slide, hung out in the adults only pool area, played miniature golf, watched movies on the tunnel vision pool side and even got to watch Monday and Thursday night football out there.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Only watched one stage show- Disney's "Believe" which was excellent. There was a lot more entertainment but did not experience.

Children's Programs

We did not have children with us.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The same wait staff are with you through your whole cruise and they cater to whatever you need or want. They already know what you like to drink and if you want 2 appetizers or 2 entrees they will bring them to you. Constantly checking on you and making sure you have everything you need.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was emaculate.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Comfort and cleanliness was excellent. Plenty of room.

Ship tip

Make sure you have someone who can take pictures with your phone because the photographers on board will no longer do it for you.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Port was very easy to get to. Did not do an excursion.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
The town is easy to get to but it is very dirty and the people haggle you about buying merchandise. Went over to Atlantis and that was beautiful and pleasant. Worth the trip however, to get in you have to show proof of vaccination and passport.

Castaway Cay (Disney Private Island)

5 out of 5
We always enjoy this island. Lots to do and the food is included with your cruise.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It was also seamless. They tell you what time you can go down for breakfast and then what time you need to be out of your cabin and then you just wait for your category to be called for disembarkation.

I never thought to ask a professional photographer to use my phone to take my pictures. That would be like bringing my own steak to a restaurant and asking the cook to grill it for me. That is awesome if they would do that but I wouldn't feel cheated if they don't.

Glad you enjoyed it. I can understand the photographers not taking pictures with peoples phones since there is no compensation for them and potential exposure to Covid.

I’m surprised you think the photographers should neglect their job to take a picture with your phone
