Review summary

All in all, this was our 2nd cruise, we came with friends and it was one of the best times of my life. The most fantastic was to bring in the New Year!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Seamless and easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The drinks were amazing but the dood needs help. We really enjoyed the habachi Izumi Restuarant and Chops. But windjammer was terrible, the quality is enough to make you sick, the burgers tasted like mush, we were forced to eat here a few times and it was not worth the money we spent to be on the boat. The specialty restaurants are great, the main dining was delicious, but the windjammer is the reason why I rated 4 instead of 5 stars

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We did the SkyPad on the last day, omg soooooo much fun. My hubby played in the b-ball tournament, we participated in the big bingo challenge, we seen a comedy show about an hour before the ball dropped on New Years

Entertainment

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The beds were way more comfortable on this ship than the Freedom of the Seas.

Ship tip

Make sure you walk the entire ship, it’s a big ship but you just have to see it from all angles.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Didn’t do an excursion but pulling off from Miami waving to the folks standing in the nearby high rise buildings WAS AMAZING!!!!! No excursion needed, we just drank and looked at the ambiance of the city for a few hours before the boat embarked

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
It was New Year’s Day so everything was closed. However the parade was super to witness!!!

Cococay (Cruise Line's Private Island)

5 out of 5
It wasn’t even done and I wish we could’ve stayed there for two days instead of one. The walk out on the sandbar by the floating bar....... OUTSTANDING!!!! We just drank and walked and took pics, it was the most amazing time out there of my life!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy, small line for a bit but not long wait
