Our first cruise. Nice to be able to drive to the port from home. A little chilly til we got down south.

Review summary

1st cruise and we booked the Haven. We loved the boat but the ports left a lot to be desired. Would do it again and not get off the ship at all.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We booked the Haven so it was super easy!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Just amazing! We loved eating dinner next to the window. First cruise and we love water so I loved the ship better than the ports.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Entertainment was top notch!! Rock of Ages was just amazing!! Definitely R rated (so maybe not kid appropriate) but we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

When at 100% capacity it is very hard to find a lounge chair on the main decks.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

This was my first cruise and we booked the Haven. We were very happy with the room.

Ship tip

Don’t miss the ice bar! A very “cool” experience. We only stayed about 30 mins. 1st drink was free. Lots of picture taking opportunities inside.

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

Not very exciting. Jewelry was overpriced. We were here for two days because GSC was cancelled. One day we stayed on the ship and did the water slides. We had a great time onboard.

I was on the cruise the week before you and we didn't stop at gsc either and I've done 1 other cruise that also didn't stop there. I wonder what percent of scheduled cruises actually stop there.

Glad you enjoyed your cruise from 2018. Better late than never to post a review I guess 🧐

Glad you enjoyed it. Another person on the exact same sailing gave a poor rating on several things and said they would not return. I guess it depends upon the attitude of the person cruising

Amazing vacation

Wonderfully relaxing and totally decompressing cruise. We were celebrating a birthday on a honeymoon and the staff were magically wonderful! Would definitely do again and maybe drag the rest of our adult kids with us. :)
