Review summary

Back to back cruise with a total of 6 days. Lovely!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was very smooth and quick. I arrived at my scheduled time and had all of my documentation ready. The port staff was knowledgeable and patient as I haven’t cruised in quite a long time and the terminal and processing has changed a ton.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was excellent. I dined at every venue except Giovanni’s and playmakers. I was on a back to back , so the 6 days allowed for the variety. My only complaint is that the coffee in the MDR is not very good. But I had the refreshment pkg so i would stroll to Cafe Promenade and get a fancy coffee.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The ice show was interesting as it was more of a variety show due to several of the athletes were out on injuries. The performance and the skill level was outstanding and very enjoyable.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was wonderful and very attentive. They were just as thrilled to back at work as I was to be on vacation.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was extremely clean and the constant attention to sanitation was lovely.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The two balcony rooms I had over my back to back were very nice. As I am a solo traveler it was very spacious. I was in the rooms quite a lot as it was a working vacation. Yay me!!!

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Didn’t leave the ship, but it sure is pretty. Loads of construction currently. Will be looking at going to the margaritaville resort next time.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Such a beautiful getaway. The amount of money spent to upgrade Coco Cay is well spent. I remember going before and it was nice but now it is a destination for sure.

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Port Canaveral is very easy to navigate.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It was so good I did it twice! The back to back change over was easy and painless. The final disembark was a self walk off so my lack of forethought in how may bags is my own fault. I will definitely not choose that next round. Out of practice, and much, much older since my last cruise.
