Review summary

I went on this cruise with my best friend for our last Spring Break trip during college. We had the time of our lives. There were many other college students sharing similar experiences that made it one of the best vacations I have ever taken. There was always something to do, the staff was incredibly helpful and lovely, and the boat just made vacation enjoyable from the wide variety of options available.

Very smooth and easy process.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The Specialty Restaurants were amazing, by far some of the best I have experienced on a cruise. The Main dining rooms, such as the Manhattan Room were very fun and well staffed as well (loved the live music in Manhattan Room).

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There is plenty to do for all ages. I was with a group of 20-somethings and we were in line for the slides in between 40 somethings and little ones.

Entertainment

High level of quality performers.

The bar staff is amazing, as well as all the staff. They really go out of their way to help and do what they can to make your trip memorable.

Everything was very clean

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Surprisingly big for a cruise ship room! It was very clean and comfortable.

Ship tip

All you need to know is floor 6,7,8 - the heart of the ship that has everything you could ask for!

Ports of call

New York, New York

5 out of 5
We left from NYC, so we did not do an excursion but the pier was easy to navigate and enter.

Port Canaveral, Florida

4 out of 5
Not much to do if you don't want to spend a lot of money. We ubered to Cocoa Beach and went shopping at Ron Jon but that was about it besides lunch. (it was also raining so there might be more to do in better weather)

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
LOVE. Spent the whole day on the beach and going into the water. What really makes this day is that food is included and DRINKS if you have the unlimited beverage package. What a fun spot to stop on the cruise.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Nassau reminded me of many ports of call, you have your typical Diamonds International and Effy, so if you aren't shopping you will either have to spend money on an excursion or head to senior frogs (not that either of those options are bad!)

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
I was seriously amazed on how fast and easy it was leaving the boat (not that I wanted to leave!) The tag system worked out great and there were practically no lines.
