We enjoyed ourselves. Loved the waterfront deck. This was our 1st cruise we are already looking into another one.

5 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Although the dinning rooms are supposed to have basically the same food we found that the Manhattan room was far superior. The buffet was ok for breakfast. Specialty restaurant we went to was Bayamo it was very good.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

There was a ton of things to do but we opted to just do our own thing and relax.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Choir of man was great! We saw it twice. Rumors we anther good one but seating is tight and fills up fast. Uptown boys was ok not as good as the other 2. Spencer James the comedian was funny and very entertaining.

Ports of call

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

3 out of 5

Enjoyed the day but it takes way too long for the tenders to get you to the island. Since we didn’t have much time there they should have worked faster to move the people.

I wasn’t impressed I took the bus tour streets were dirty, houses in disarray, spent $32 on 2 banana daiquiris just for something.
