Review summary

We weren't expecting much from a 2 night cruise, but what a wonderful experience! The ship was new and absolutely immaculate. Workers were constantly painting, polishing. Very nice. We have never had an inside stateroom, but this was excellent. Large mirror on back wall made the room seem bigger, room on both sides of the bed. Lots of drawer and closet space. Bathroom had lots of storage space also. What we loved when we entered the ship was all the staff greeting us and directing us to everywhere you wanted to go. The buffet food was very good, as well as the dining rooms. Wasn't exceptional but was very good. The choices were smaller than what we were used to. The evening onboard entertainment was fantastic! Almost like a Circque de Soleil. We got to hear Tito Puente, who was excellent - as well as the salsa dancers. Place was packed. There was entertainment all over the ship; that made it very enjoyable. The ship was beautifully decorated and very clean. The staff was wonderful. Service was also very good in stateroom and in dining rooms. We really loved this boat, would definitely go on it again for a longer cruise.

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Restaurant dining room was wonderful for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Service was quick and servers very accommodating. Wine prices were reasonable. Ambiance nice. Didn't have a ton of choices for entrees, but they were certainly more than adequate. Never got to specialty restaurants, but looked nice.

Entertainment

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very nice, didn't even get to all the decks. Layout was great. Lots of elevators throughout the boat, never had to wait long. Not jammed up at elevator area either. Extremely clean and beautiful decor.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Very comfortable room for inside stateroom. Although no light from outside, lots of mirrors to make the room look bigger. Liked that there was room on each side of the bed to manuever. Condition was excellent, and lots of storage space. Lovely room.

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

Always enjoy a trip to the Atlantis. Took a limo there. All taxi rides are $4 per person, whether van or limo. Town is nice, as well as market at dock. Change from last trip to Atlantis - now they charge for everything. Atlantis has a wonderful aquarium, but you have to pay for it now. Would recommend taking a day trip from the boat there so you can enjoy their pool and beach. It is well worth it.
