Review summary

Overall, we had a great time. The poor weather was a problem, and not just because we came out of New York, but that wasn't the fault of the cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was generally excellent. Buffet was always crowded, and it was hard to get reservations to specialty restaurants at reasonable times.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The weather wasn't great, even when we got south. There was only about 2 days where doing stuff outside was reasonable.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
We saw one show, it was very good, but hard to get into. We saw a 10:00 show and we were already tired.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The people were really nice

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Wonderful ship... the central indoor areas were huge though, and it was easy to get turned around.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Loved the balcony room.

Ship tip

Make reservations for things you want to do as soon as you get on board. Everything fills up quickly.

We didn't do an excursion, and the weather was cool and rainy.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
We did the Kayak excursion. It was great. The island was very nice. If there was one thing to complain about, the buffet wasn't up to the quality of the ship.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
We swam with dolphins and had a great time. The weather wasn't great though and had to wait to get back to the ship.
