Review summary

We really enjoyed ourselves on our cruise. Like I said the only negative thing that I could even say was in the casino the attendance for some reason we’re not walking around the slot machines asking for a drink orders. And when we first entered our cabin when we arrived on the cruise as we walk in the door the smell of a sweaty man that knocked you on your butt lol but seriously it was a very strong sweaty smell of a man so maybe some air freshener between cruises will be a good idea

Casino, hurricane. So I enjoy the casino but our biggest problem was the attendance there we’re not walking around the slot machines much and we’re not taking orders for drinks

We didn’t get a chance to go see any of the shows or bands

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Everything looked great the only complaint we had was our room was clean but it had a strong smell of like a sweaty man. It was just real strong and not sure why. Maybe they could put some type of air fresheners in the room or something

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The room looks good like I said I just had a smell from I’m assuming the last people who stay there it just smells like a really sweaty man

Ship tip

The advice I would give is to spray the rooms with something to kill any smells from past guests and to make sure the attendance in the casino or walking around frequently around the slot machines and getting drink orders

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

Went to a few places to eat in Cocoa Beach and went on the pier and to the beach

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Would be nice to have a little bit more shade areas especially where you eat it. We did the excursion with the jet skis and we had a blast

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
So Nassau just wasn’t a very pleasant experience. The people who live on that island can just be really aggravating and won’t leave you alone. Also I wouldn’t recommend getting your hair braided they try to trick people so they have to pay a lot of money. The blue lagoon island thought we did enjoy. We had a wonderful time went to see Lyons and had pictures taken. More shade is needed on this island. Found a lot of people standing around hot and looking for shade
