Review Summary

During the last few days of the cruise, I wished that we had booked the Eastern Caribbean also & done it back to back. Due to weather, we were unable to visit Belize. Nassau, Bahamas was a great alternative. We recommend not waiting until the last night to look at your photos. Visiting the coffee shop in the atrium & having a different flavored macaroon with my mocha was a fun treat every day.

Ship Experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food was excellent! The music in the Manhattan Room during dinner was a nice touch. Cagney's Steakhouse was excellent! Because we liked to eat in Savor or Taste for breakfast, the staff became accustomed to our group & knew we'd need a table for 10 as soon as they saw us.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Both the kiddie and regular ropes courses were used by family members. The spa was used by 6 of us. There were always lounge chairs available in the forward area - not so much in the pool areas.

Ship Quality

It's a beautiful ship. I wish I would have studied the layout of the common areas before the trip. Appreciated the many hand sanitizer stations - wish everyone would have used them.

Cabin / Stateroom

Very comfortable & lots of storage space. It was enjoyable to sit on the balcony in the early morning.
