Review summary

Music loud!!!!!! Cruise was generally,…ok. Was lacking interaction from the Captain, I think we had one announcement from him, BUT, he/they did a REMARKABLE job getting us out of port safely in 55-70 mph winds, great job

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Terminal A is SUPER QUICK!! Boarded on scheduled time, was on the ship in 10 minutes

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food venues all good, but, people these days have absolutely no consideration for others, expect a lot of pushing and shoving in the windjammer. Main dining was pretty good still has very nice staff, some supervision was extremely hard on staff, I noticed that, and wanted to tell them treat these workers a little better.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Water was too cold due to weather to enjoy pools, (for me), hot tubs, people literally spend their whole cruise in them, as if they were specific shareholders of the hot tubs.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The music should NOT be heard on deck 7 down the hallways, I like a hood song turned up now and then but every venue music was ridiculous loud! The performers actually had sone really god talent but the lame shows held the possibilities of the performers back.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Most all of the staff had great attitudes, not fake, I do not know how they tolerate sone of the guests these days, some guests were rather belittling to sone of the staff and they handled it well. It was good to sea they had a separate area just for the crew to enjoy themselves, in private from the guests, good for RC here.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Well maintained! Easy to get around.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Pretty descent, shower is really tight, but has incredible pressure! Only two outlets, no usb, tv was good, cabin was actually nice, about what I expected

Ship tip

Music is REALLY LOUD. Music venues are so so. Captain might have blown the horn one time, seriously? The other ships did horn battles in Nassau, not us. Never even saw the Captain, we used to see the officers every cruise, not anymore. From experience, the shop handles very well in rough seas,

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Based on recent travel warnings, I was apprehensive, stay in tourist areas you’ll be fine. I was surprised just how friendly the Bahamians were, whether it’s their job to or not. Very pretty area

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
Miami, don’t even get out of the car, $$$$!Airport is easy to get to and from port.
