Review summary

We were a party of 12, ranging in age from 15 - 55. We ALL had fun! You can do as much, or as little, as you like. 9 nights was the perfect mix of exciting port of call, and lazy days by the pool.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

It is a smaller ship, but still tons of fun and the plus is that it is easier to navigate and find your way around!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Typical ship-size room. Plenty of storage. Small bathroom, but it worked for 2 people in the room. Can't imagine sharing the space if there were more than 2 of us!

Ship tip

Park Cafe is hidden away in the solarium, but had great after hours food! During the day, they have a salad bar.

Ports of call

King's Wharf, Bermuda

2 out of 5

Not sure why the ship goes to this port. There is virtually nothing to do unless you get outside the dockyard, via bus or cab. Due to the timing of this port, by the time we got into Hamilton, the stores were all closing. Very disappointed.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5

Not much to do in Nassau itself except visit the straw market. Stores and restaurants all close early (due to crime?). We did a private excursion thru shipmate to swim with the dolphins - TOP NOTCH! Can't imagine a better experience. We had SO much time in the water with the dolphins - it was great!

Cococay (Cruise Line's Private Island)

4 out of 5

This is the cruise line's private island. It is beautiful and very fun - but be prepared to spend money. The food is free, but other than, all entertainment such as snorkeling, floats for the water, and the aqua park are more money - and expensive.
