Review summary

Loved our cruise. Loved the people. Loved everything about it. I didn't feel crowded. I wish we had a better package deal that included the gratuities and drinks. In the future, I hope they can offer 5 day cruises and more excursion options for the South FL area.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
A little crowded and took a while, even though we arrived at the scheduled time

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food in the dining room was mediocre. My family preferred the buffet options. The desserts need improvement.

Onboard Activities

Service and Staff

Always friendly, attentive and helpful.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The areas were always well maintained and kept clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Wish the bunk had a lower bunk in our room. My daughter had a hard time sleeping on the top bunk and the queen bed just couldn't fit all 3 of us. Our toilet had issues in our cabin throughout the week; other than that it was a nice room.

Ship tip

Ocean Cay, the new private island was a treat and really enjoyed that place and would go there again.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida Did not visit port

I live in FL

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
Loved the city and wish we had more time to explore. We arrived in the evening and didn't really get to venture much.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

4 out of 5
I wish I could of had more guidance on the water taxi option but we were very happy with the beach location the taxi driver took us.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Not a huge fan of Nassua, would have rather gone to Grand Bahamas/ Freeport.

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Beautiful!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
