Review summary

Always enjoy this ship, staff and itinerary. Easy to get to, great deals to be had. Perfect for a family of 4 and extended family vacation. Added bonus was our favorite Cruise Director, Hello Clo! was on and it made the trip even more special!

Embarkation

Staff was excellent, building was clean. As a RCCL C&A member, we were queued through the line quickly.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Movies on deck we’re okay, but did enjoy the deck chairs. Pool is fine.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Beatle Mania was the best! Ship performances were good. Guest comedians were not great.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Excellent attention to detail and staff truly cares for people.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
My biggest concern/complaint is the casino allowing smoking. Since the casino is in the middle forward of the ship, the smoke wafts almost through the entire deck and makes me have to steer clear of deck 5. Either move the casino to a remote location on ship, or be a ‘no smoking’ ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Great space for family of 4, including a pack-n-play. Lovely balcony. Quiet location near forward elevators.

Ship tip

Smaller ship excellent for meeting and mingling with people.

Ports of call

Baltimore, Maryland

3 out of 5
Only go to cruise.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Too busy with people selling stuff. Good weather, so enjoyed the ship deck.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Fantastic! Something for everyone. Excellent food and places to play and lounge.

Port Canaveral, Florida

3 out of 5
Only got off to walk around, rather than sit and wait for customs to clear entire ship. Need way more time in port to enjoy Theme Parks.

Charleston, South Carolina

5 out of 5
Reason for being a return customer for this itinerary. Would love to be docked earlier in day. Need more time in port.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Bit early, but understand to flip a ship. Hate walking through casino to leave—end up smelling of smoke.

Ditto on the smoke in the casino, it can be overwhelming. People don’t go there to gamble, they go just to smoke.

I have to agree with you about the smoke in the casino I'm a smoker and it still bothers me.
