Review summary

It was a great getaway. The staff really made the difference between a good and bad trip.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food in the main dinning was amazing and I liked the variety in the main dining but the buffet was the same every day and got very boring.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The activities were good but I didn’t like that most of the activists were in the centrum, I think more would participate if more sing slings and stuff happened in the Pacific room

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Romeo was awesome at karaoke and the bands and singers sounded great

Children's Programs

Kids were playing older and didn’t use those activities

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Bayu our server in the main dining room was by far the best server we have experienced in a cruise. So attentive and fun to talk to and an amazing guitar player and singer.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very well maintained

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
It was adequate room for two teens and two adults. I would have liked some towel animals and I would have liked the bunk beds pulled up during the day and put back down at night

Ship tip

if You want more things to do then book a bigger boat but it was fun for the most part. I would leave out of Florida though because this cruise had three days at sea and I would have liked more bahama ports

Ports of call

Baltimore, Maryland

4 out of 5
This port smells awful, like rotten eggs, and there are too many days at seas verses land days. I would have like more ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
We did our own thing in Florida and had a blast at gators and golf. They have a go kart track that is like Mario kart and 2 putt putt golfing areas. Y’all need to make that An excursion for sure

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
This was a nice relaxing port. We laid on the beach all day. The rentals for the floating mats was ridiculously expensive. Two mats were $37 it was not told to me at the time of rental either and it just showed up as an excursion expense. Way over charged for a water mat in my opinion. You could rent more of those out if they weren’t so expensive

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Loved pearl island and the snorkeling. The lunch they provided there was amazing. Fried grouper was the best I have ever eaten

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
The lines to get off the boat were unorganized at best but moved at a decent rate. The crew were patient and guided the lines as best they could

Thanks for the review! We’re your older children able to keep themselves occupied on the smaller size trip?
