Review summary

This was one of our favorite cruises. The first couple of days the waves were bad due to a hurricane. After that, it was smooth sailing.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Service was wonderful in the dining room and the buffets. It would be nice to have a few more late night free options. A made to order deli sandwich counter would be nice.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We enjoyed playing Pickleball, even in the wind. The Solarium pool and hot tubs were a nice area.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Some of the ships musician and dancer shows were a little cheesy. We did enjoy the Elton John Tribute, Comedians, Juggler and the Ice Show

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Excellent service in the dining room! Did not enjoy hearing "washy, washy" every time we entered the buffet. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The room steward was good, but he didn't go out of his way. We asked for extra towels, and he didn't seem too happy to provide them.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We loved the ship! It's beautiful and well designed. Big enough without being too big.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The cabin was fine. I like that there is plenty of storage areas.

Ship tip

Relax and enjoy. There's something for everyone.

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

Bermuda is a beautiful island. Our excursion to the Crystal Cave and the Aquarium and Zoo was wonderful. Graceann was a wonderful guide. She gave us a full island tour along the way and even added some extra stops.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
We did not do an excursion. The port area is mostly shopping areas. The straw market sellers are a little pushy. Most booths have the same items all claiming to be handmade.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We had a very relaxing day at Coco Cay. We enjoyed the large pool and the beach area. There are fish swimming around you in the ocean. The food was good, many different options.
