Review summary

Me and my son had a great time on this cruise. It was not perfect but if you don't sweat the small stuff (bar service and crowded buffet) you will have a great time 🙂

Embarkation

4 out of 5
No issues

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
I let myself get too frustrated waiting in line at the bars, instead of just going to another one. Don't make that mistake.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Lots of things to do and themed parties. Water slides were really fun as well. Good entertainment staff on board for sure. The pools and hot tubs are in good supply!

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Good shows, always something going on, very lively vibes.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Our room steward was awesome. No issues at all. Everything we asked for was taken care of timely. MDR was very busy the service was acceptable. Ship personnel were nice.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship is beautiful inside and out. Very well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Room 9229 Deluxe Balcony cabin. Very nice shower, couch, good amount of storage. Comfortable balcony.

Ship tip

Experience as much as possible. If something or someplace is too crowded find another activity. Relax, you're on vacation!

Ports of call

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

5 out of 5
The absolute best private island! The beauty of this island is incredible! The Beach Party and light house show was impressive.

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
We arrived in Orlando in the early evening and cruise day was the next day. We took an Uber to Universal City Walk. Had dinner at Bubba Gumps and did some souvenir shopping. Great pre cruise night!

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
No excursion. I downloaded GPS My City and we did a self guided city tour. It was a real adventure but enjoyable! Fort Fincastle, The Queens staircase, Bay Street and the Straw Market

Disembarkation

Glad you enjoyed. Attitude and flexibility are the keys to enjoying most things. Nothing is ever perfect. Some seem to focus on and be looking for something wrong rather than enjoying themselves.

Great vacation philosophy. I'll have to remember GPS My City for my next trip. Glad you had a nice vacation.
