We love cruising. Yes, some things could be better. But we're still aboard and loving our time. Can't wait to plan another.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Just wish there were enough chairs by the pools/splash pad, or that crew members would truly do something about the people who save the chairs and never come back to them.

Our daughters could not get enough of Adventure Ocean. They loved the staff members and the opportunity to play with other kids.

Julio (room steward), Ida (main dining), and Ni-Luh (main dining) were fantastic!

Thumbs Up 1

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5

We almost chose to stay aboard in Nassau based on how awful other reviews are. But we chose a shore excursion and I'm glad we did. Yes, there are many pushy people around the port (trying to make a living), but that is true of many ports. We enjoyed going around the city and learning about Nassau's history.

Excellent except for teens on elevator

NOT the same food quality at all

Terrible cruise for young kids, with hidden extra charges
