Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Enjoyed the food and service in the main dining room and windjammer. The drink service we enjoyed always took a very long time.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The cruise director, Ricky, was amazing! Th ice show was really good, and the Whitney Houston tribute was exceptional. The broadway style show from the ship’s singers and dancers was not very good. It was amateurish, like amusement park quality... unlike the high-quality shows we’ve experienced on our other cruises.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Our cabin was clean, but desperately needed to be updated. The bed was hard and lumpy, like a pallet, not a mattress. Our toilet seat looked like it had burn marks or something else because it was stained and melted in places. Simply needed to be replaced.

Ship tip

Be prepared to do a lot of walking. The ship is bigger than it seems.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
We didn’t do an excursion in Miami. Instead we checked our luggage in at the airport, and we took a lyft to Bayside Marketplace on Biscayne Bay... Had a great time while we waited for our evening flight!

Cococay (Cruise Line's Private Island) Did not visit port

The waves were high, and it he Captain fell tendering back and forth to the island would be dangerous.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Visited Junkanoo beach and toured the Atlantis Resort. The beach was a little dirty, but the Atlantis Resort was a treat.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We got off the ship quickly and with no challenges. Our luggage was easy to find, and there was someone there to help us with it when we arrived.
