Review summary

Overall I would book the cruise again as a winter getaway.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth minimal wait time during the off season.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining room staff were phenomenal. Hari and his rest of the servers were very attentive. The food on the cruise could be better and Ice was not available for about half of the cruise.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The ship has a lot of activities but it was a little too cold during parts of our trip to use them all.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The onboard shows and musicians were decent but not great.

Children's Programs

Leave the vehicle and wait until your child is three and potty trained to maximize daycare service.

Hard to find reasonable parking prior to the cruise. If you must bring a vehicle there are garages available outside the port.
Thumbs Up

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Port canaveral was relaxing and had a charming small town feel.
Thumbs Up

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
It was difficult to get a rental car. You need to Uber there and back but Miami is a nice city to visit in the off season.
Thumbs Up

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

Ocean Cay was a good stop but the sand was a little course in some areas and the shade was very limited.
Thumbs Up

Nassau, Bahamas
