Review summary

We had so much fun!!! I definitely recommend cruising with friends if you get a chance. I love cruising in general, but including friends makes it twice as nice.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
For some reason, they took one of our friends off of the manifest so we had a small delay getting everyone checked in. Because that happened, they also removed his credit card information so he was treated as a cash paying customer.

Ship experiences

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We used the pool, hot tubs, and water slides and enjoyed them all! We all agreed that we like the blue slide best because you go a bit faster.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Saw the ice show, the comedy show and Grease. All were great, but the comedy show was our favorite.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone seemed happy and welcoming. Our room attendant was Sebastian, and he was the best ever!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This worked well. We were two couples with adjoining rooms. We kept the room access locked, and had Sebastian open the balcony divider. Made for nice evenings under the stars, and beautiful mornings having coffee. And we also had fun harassing each other by knocking on the sliders :)

Ship tip

Check the main dining menu early so that you can decide whether to eat there or the buffet or a specialty restaurant that evening.

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
It’s not our favorite port, but we’re only able to take the quick weekend get-aways so Nassau is included in most of those trips. We managed to have a good time, but I find it dirty and the people are annoying.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Love it here! We don’t pay for excursions because we’re super happy lounging on the beach and swimming in the pool and ocean.

I appreciate your comments about Nassau. Several years ago it lost its appeal to us and we no longer get off the ship.
