Review summary

First cruise and exceeded our expectations. It is simple and rooms are not very big but you don’t spend a lot of time in the room. Shows were not bad, nothing special but entertainy enough. Service was exception especially in the dining room. Dinner Food was amazing and fancy. Best escargot I ve ever had. We loved the adventure kid club. We have a 3,5 year old and that was super nice to be able to leave her there and to know that she loved it. She wanted to come back every night. It was also super awesome to know you can leave kids till late if you need it. Ship and our room was always clean. I think our room was cleaned three times a day and they would leave cool towel made animals that our daughter loved, it was kind of a fun surprise every evening after diner for her. We really liked the first port Coco Cay, beautiful beach and food and drinks with drink package are included all day. Freeport was super simple and didn’t impress us that much. Nassau had lots of different excursions and options to do. Overall we loved it so much that we already booked another cruise.

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The main dining was exceptional. The service we had was exquisite. Our server Rudresh did a fantastic job remembering all of us by name and our habits. The second evening he knew who likes more food and who likes to drink coffee after dinner. We didn’t have to remind him anything. He was amazing.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We expected a little bit bigger pool but we were not in sea for too long. Also our 3 year old could not use not one area with slides because supposedly it was for babies with diapers only and she was not allowed to use the other slide because she was too little. She was upsat and we were a bit disappointed.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Entertainment was just ok. We didn’t like the comedian at all, but music show and love show with couples out of the crowd was not bad. Would be nice to havE servers in the theatre room to order some drinks though.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
We did use kids adventure club everyday and loved it. We have a 3,5 year old and she wanted to go back there every day. One night she brought a paper guitar she made herself the other night she made pirate bandana. One evening they had fun trashing the room with toilet paper and she had lots of fun. I ve seen older kids leaving with their own personal pillow cases they made themselves. They give you a pager and if your kid needs you they will let you know. It even opens until 2 am if you want to spend more time with your significant other.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We thought service all over the boat was exceptional. Room stewards made towel animals every evening that our daughter loved and room was nicely clean. Dinding room service was aspecially was amazed us. Everyone was a 5 star.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Was always clean but stairs and elevators would get pretty crowded when there is something going on.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
It is small but we didn’t spend a lot of time in there. Always was clean. I think it was cleaned 2 or even 3 times a day.

Ship tip

Get the drink package it way worse it of you have 3 or more drinks per day and like latte coffee in the morning. Do not tip turns out there is a gratuity included per day per person. We didn’t know that.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida Did not visit port

We arrived a day before and went only to one restaurant

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We just spend the day on the beach. It was great that it was all included lunch and drink with our drink package. Beach was great for little kids. There was dj and entertainment going on during the day too.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
We did an excursion to Atlantis. We have. 3,5 year old and unfortunately that place is super big and it is hard to walk a lot with little kid and of course hard to do any rides. The whole place was super crowded and people stayed in huge lines for every slide. You can’t stay in line for 20 or 30 minutes with a 3 year old. Aquariums were fun. We just spent most of the time next to the pool. I would suggest to do a beach day instead if you have little kids.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

2 out of 5
We did family beach time excursion. There is no just free beach, if you want to spend time on the beach you have to book an excursion. Beach was not too bad but was windy, waivy and a bit crowded.
