Service and Staff

4 out of 5

I would of had 5 stars, but I had to call room service a few times, because they failed to come a few times for a few requests that I had (extra blankets, water etc) - they did clean the room and restock towels a few times a day which was nice. The Dining Room staff was SUPERB!!!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Tiny! But it’s ok, because we didn’t spend much time in there. I’m getting a bigger room next time for sure! 4 people and the room I was In I would recommend for 2 people.

Ship tip

Reserve activities prior! Example: SkyPad, laser tag, Ice skating etc. I didnt know I needed a reservation to participate, I was never told. Luckily, we were able to get squeezed in! Also bring cash for cococay, credit card for Atlantis! Pants for ice skating!

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5

Did an excursion from 9a-5p at Atlantis, and the last bus to the ship left at 5, so we didn’t have time to explore Nassau.. Atlantis was HUGE!!!! Didn’t even finish half of the water park.

Cococay (Cruise Line's Private Island)

3 out of 5

Small island, not much to do at all. They cancelled the parasailing right before the cruise with no reason!! That was suppose to be the highlight of the trip. Other than that, if you’re looking to relax and sunbathe, this is the spot for you.. minus the construction!!!
