Review summary
Great ship, food very good to great, cabin was perfect! Ship was totally full including over 1,300 kids (school spring break) but never appeared crowded. Bars were under-staffed at times and so a 8-10 minute wait for a soda or drink, with passengers jockeying for attention so that was not relaxing as it could have been. We booked early so had the dining upgrade and drink package included for free which was nice. But aggravating that water and the good coffee was not included! Bring an insulated coffee mug with lid if you want to bring coffee out of the cafe (only small cups and no lids in the cafe) Had to skip Great Stirrup Cay due to rough weather for the tenders but ship itself was very stable. Would not hesitate to go on this ship again.

Ship tip
The dining upgrade package is well worth it! Also get out by 7:00 AM THE LATEST if you want to get decent (or any) deck or poolside lounges. Although reserving seats is discouraged, it seems everybody does it and ties them up for the whole day, unoccupied except for a towel tucked on the lounge
Ports of call
Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas
