Review summary

My cruise overall was very good, I met 2 staff members from my home country, I felt good meeting the executive chef (was my brother's math student in high school), and the executive housekeeper also family friend. I enjoyed the free style dining very much, and I also enjoyed not having waiters in my face on deck forcing me to purchase drinks like on some other ships. I'm an occasional drinker so when someone keep asking you every 15 min if you are ready for that drink is very annoying, so this was very good.

Embarkation

The pool area was quite relaxing.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
I attended 2 shows and they were excellent. I spent most of my time in the casino at nights.

Children's Programs

1 out of 5
I had no kids on board. I did not want to rate but your system would not allow me to use n/a, so you get a 1 star.

Cabin / Stateroom

Had issues with the toilet, had to press several times for it to flush. One night it would not flush no matter how we tried, had to call maintenance in the middle of the night.

Ship tip

Loose some wait before going, the food was excellent. LOL

Ports of call

New York, New York

3 out of 5
cool weather did not permit much enjoyment for me.

Port Canaveral, Florida

1 out of 5
your system would not allow me to use the option "not visit this port". I did not get off, I have been here several times.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

1 out of 5
again your system would not allow me other option, the ship bypassed this stop due to weather conditions.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Was able to visit the Atlantis on my own.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Was so much better than the long line getting on, and custom agent was nice and polite.

This happened to us also where we could not stop at their private island due to the weather. We sailed on 3/25th trip. Even 2 yrs ago when we said same cruise they also cancelled the stop to stirrups cay bc of weather. Maybe that's normal for non summer cruise ?
