Review summary

I would recommend people used to sailing on bigger boats that don't get motion sickness go on this cruise. Those are smokers where smoke doesn't bother as the casino has 1 spot but people smoked all throughout and it will give you a migraine if you're sensitive to that.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
It was better than expected, there could have been more details on where to go

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
There weren't too many options to choose from, the buffet and main served the same thing.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Not enough included activities, the reservations booked up too quickly so you were lucky to see someone else complete them.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The entertainers all did a great job

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Waitress Kayla table 902 main dining 5:30p was excellent. Harum with cleaning did well though they didn't clean at 10a like we asked, always at 1p when we were ready to get in the room to change for the next activity or nap from a long day.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The staff tried as much as they could, people onboard didn't help

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
It was well maintained, the noises from the pipes on last 2 days were concerning, and we could hear everytime the upstairs room showered, but not next door.

Ship tip

Take lots of motion sickness meds if you aren't used to the movement

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
