Review summary

The trip was ok, we went with family and had a great time. I was not pleased with self serve buffet returning and ship was crowded. I dont think in would go again on a holiday weekend. The drink package and other add ons such as speciality dining is expensive compared to some other lines.

Food and Dining

The food was ok. Nothing special. Upcharge for sport bar food. Surprised by that. Food and beverage service was good.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Limited activities on board. We are accustom to more options during the day. We do not get off at Nassau.

5 out of 5

Juggler was wonderful. We have seen him before but always enjoy the show.

Small balcony cabin, with small bathroom. This is the smallest balcony cabin we have had in over 10 years
