Review summary

The cruise was wonderful, there wasn’t a lot to do aboard except drink and eat but if you’re going for that it was wonderful. Trivia was fun, comic was great, drinks were amazing, girl singing above the promenade was the absolute worst and hurt mine & others heads, but a fantastic cruise. Way too much smoking on board but that’s just me

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Super easy and very quick

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Buffet and specialty restaurants were FANTASTIC. Main dining was not great breakfast lunch or dinner. Food was cold and not great

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Gym, hot tub, walking path, all fantastic. Pools were ice cold and not enjoyable

Entertainment

5 out of 5

All the stage performers were incredible! So funny and so talented. Whoever the woman was singing above the promenade was absolutely terrible and way too loud. Saw multiple people plugging their ears and running away

Children's Programs

Don’t have a kid

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Room stewards were fantastic! So attentive and nice and always available, waiters were not great. Took forever for my party of two and would stand around a lot.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Everything was perfect

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Shower was a bit small and there was no mattress pad but everything else was perfect & wonderful!

Ship tip

Either be ready to gamble or drink all day bc there’s not much else to do

No excursions but the walk in was scary & sad & anyone I’ve ever talked to said never to get off at that port. I did anyways and they were right.

If that is all you want to enjoy on a cruise. Yes you can drink till you can't walk. But there are many other activities and entertainment to enjoy or you can just lay back and relax. Maybe cruising isn't your thing.

Thanks for your feedback. I definitely wouldn't like all the smoking on board.

Yeah Nassau is under construction right now and it's so busy. I'd definitely recommend an excursion while visiting Nassau until the construction is complete
