Excellent cruise overall! Nice ship and easy enough to navigate. Loved CoCo Cay! Visited Baha Mar Casino in the Bahamas. It was beautiful and as nice as a Vegas Casino! Worth the20 minute taxi from the ship!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Dinner each evening in theMain Dining Room. Great food overall! Need to shout out to our dining room waiter Vincent and assistant waiter Pankaj for their excellent service! The Head waiter met with me each evening at dinner to plan my menu for the following evening . I have gluten and dairy allergies and he was extremely attentive! He even had the head pastry make me a gluten free/ dairy free chocolate cake to celebrate my Birthday! Only ate in buffet first day for lunch, food was ok but deserts were good. Even have vegan and gluten free sections. Didn’t try any specialty restaurants.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Solarium was ok but a bit noisy compared to other ships. Didn’t do any other activities.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Ice Skating show was great! Main production with Monique from Goddess was excellent! One of the best shows we have seen on a cruise, She had an incredible voice! The Juggler was good also. Piano player and singer Roel on Schooner Bar was good also.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was very helpful and friendly and happy to see everything! Loved the buffet “ singing Washy Washy Station” guy! He was awesome! Our waiters were exceptional and really catered to our every need and my dietary needs too!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was very clean. Saw staff cleaning constantly which was impressive! They were very strict about hand washing before entering buffet and sanitizing your hands prior to entering the dining rooms. There even was a staff member spraying your hands with sanitizer as you entered the dining areas. They gave friendly reminders if someone forgot to put a mask on prior to entering the dining areas. Very pleased with the Infection Control measures on this ship! We so appreciated their attentive manner.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin number 6258. Balcony room. Very nice spacious room! Nice new looking couch and room was nice and clean! Plenty of closet space too!

Ship tip

Make show reservations when you first get on board and just relax and have a fun cruise!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Great! Off the ship in 8 minutes! You wait in your room until your number is announced.
