Overall this cruise was great. Ship is well equipped with everything needed to enjoy your cruise. Food is always wonderful the staff very nice and helpful.Entertainment was great as usual, something for everyone and all ages. A few things on tendering that could be worked on. Need a better way to get the people off without the long lines and confusion. Also, the departing off the ship with ones luggage was also in need of a better solution. Would recommend to anyone who wants to have fun and have everything included in an affordable price.

Cabin / Stateroom		Cabin was nice. 1st time with a balcony & it was wonderful. Had the starboard side and got a lot of great pics. Even got to wave to our fellow cruisers on the new Escape. Vinoth took could care of our room & kept it looking great. Beds were comfy too!
Embarkation and Disembarkation		Tendering needs to be more organized. Maybe put the people in the theater & call the letters from there, 2 at a time. Allowing the lines to be smaller & less confusion. Couldn't really hear the letters being called when you were in the room. Trying to leave with your own luggage wasn't organized at all either. Just seemed that there had to be an easier way.
Ship Quality		2nd time on this ship. Always kept up and the design is stunning.
Destinations and Excursions		Tendering needs to be more organized. Maybe put people in the theater and call the letters 2 at a time, so lines aren't so long. Couldn't really hear your letters being called if you were in your room.
Onboard Activities
Entertainment		Rosie from Fire & Ice was great. She needs to have her shows in the theater so everyone can be comfortable.
Service and Staff		Vinoth was our room attendant. He went out of his way to make our stay feel like home.
Food and Dining		always great with plenty of variety

New York, New York	Easy to get to the pier from Port Authority. Easy on ship and very organized. Got our # to get on the ship with no trouble.	0
Port Canaveral, Florida
Great Stirrup Cay (Cruiseline Private Island), Bahamas	Very beautiful island. A lot of coral though, which makes it hard to walk around without closed in shoes. Lunch was very nice and plenty of things to do.	0
Nassau, Bahamas	Always a nice place to visit. This time we all went to the Melia Resort for the day and had a great time. The food there was very pricey, but the beach was beautiful.	0
