Review summary

Well, it was my first cruise and let’s just say I’m already planning my next one. ;)

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Pretty average fare, but hot food & plenty of it. If you drink hot coffee at night or with your dessert, grab dinner at My Fair Lady - they were always out @ Windjammer in the evenings.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Of course I’m going to say 5 stars - I won at bingo! ;) The Almost Elton John show was a lot of fun & the International Belly Flop competition was hysterical.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Good - enjoyed karaoke & the host was great, but they had to cut it short for the comedy act coming up. Felt over-regimented

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

I was constantly lost! There were map kiosks throughout the ship, but most of them were frozen. Otherwise ship looked nice.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

It was much roomier than I was expecting! Didn’t feel cramped the whole time. And I want to know where they get their mattresses - I slept like a rock!

Ship tip

General tip - pack light and do the self-assist disembarkation!

Ports of call

Cococay (Cruise Line's Private Island)

Beautiful! No excursions- we walked down to the South Beach bar & had drinks.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5

Did the Paradise aquarium tour - the guide was great & the grounds very well-kept. Lots of places to go shopping, but run-down buildings between the stores made it feel unsafe.

Disembarkation

Customs was WAY understaffed, but were pleasant, nonetheless. 2 hour line.

Once you try cruising you're hooked. Best vacation ever. Wish we started earlier. We've been on 8 cruises and I'm still in awe when we board. Can't believe it's a ship.
