Review summary

Of your going to cruise from NY in the winter, expect sea days to and from to be COLD..... bring a jacket, pants, sweatshirt cause you will need it.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Quick and easy. We were signed in after waiting only about 20- 30 minutes in line.l and since we pre-checked in, it took all of 5 minutes. Then we had to wait until our number was called in order to board.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The buffet was very plain, same stuff just about every day, no variety. Food was slightly warm or cold most days. The speciality dining was good, we ate at Q's ( I highly recommend the peach margarita, yum), the food was okay, I would eat there again. My favorite which is never a disappointment was Teppanki. The sing more than I remember, but this is the only restaurant where you will get a LOT of food and its HOT!!!! Great food great Entertainment, gotta love it. Lastly we ate at Cagneys Steak house, I ordered a medium streak and it more well and burnt, no taste really and again the truffle fries were cold. The staffing was really nice in all restaurants

Onboard Activities

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Jersey Boys were great. Six was good, a few of them had stronger voices than others, but overall a decent show. The comedians were not that great, there were.a few funny jokes here and there, but I wasn't ROTFL or anything. Good way to kill sometime before dinner. Prohibition was also GREAT show. Hubby and I love it. It was funny, entertaining, they had crowd participation, it was great.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
No issues with service or staff. They were nice and helpful.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The layout is pretty much the same as the other ships in the breakaway class. Ship was clean, as its fairly new.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Typical balcony cabin. The cleanliness of the room was an issue. Bour steward didnt clean very well or if at all. I found dirty underwear from the previous guest left in the room on the floor underneath the bed and I mean on the corner, 8f you vacuumed the floo . You would have sucked them up close.

Ports of call

New York, New York

3 out of 5

Port Canaveral, Florida

3 out of 5

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas Did not visit port

We didnt visit many speculations as to why but the ship captain said rocky waves.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
It was good same as I remembered, once you get pass the gates, there are street vendors everywhere. There is lots 9f shopping and a beach in walking distance.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Fastest ever. Custom uses facial recognition so it tool less than a minute to get through. My husband and I left early around 830. We were on the NJ turnpike on our way home in.less than an hour

Thanks for sharing your cruise.

Sounds like a typical cruise to Florida and bahamas in december. It is best to cruise the southern or Western Caribbean in December. You'll have better weather. Florida and the Bahamas is best in the late summer/early fall and the spring/early summer. Not even sure why they offer the Bahamas in December like that. Live n learn.
