Review summary

Best pre-honeymoon adventure we could've asked for!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Smooth for the most part, except for some confusion over Covid test timeline requirements, resulting in a required $99 on-site test.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Above and beyond. Options everywhere

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Trivia & periodic gameshows were a good way to pass the time between dinner, art auctions & nightclubs.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Excellent! They really put on their best performance & we were quite impressed with the talent.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We really felt like we got the best service possible. From Adrian at the Atrium, to Richard taking care of our room- it felt almost weird being treated so well.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean & promptly kept up on. The layout took some getting used to, being our first cruise, but started to make sense about mid-week.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Perfect for what we needed. I think the balcony is a MUST, otherwise we'd feel a little claustrophobic. Having said that, it's designed to really maximize your space in every little corner for shelving, cubbies, hangers, etc. Would book again!

Ship tip

Take advantage of all of the raffles on board. The art auction was a great experience. Those "acupressure" wrist bands for nausea didn't do anything for me, on the one choppy day at sea. Guest services is your friend (avoid on embarkation day however)

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

4 out of 5

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
Beautiful beach. Not too crowded. We did zip-lining for the ultimate view of the island. This was the best day for a beach day- hands down.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
We had no planned excursions, nor did we do the bus tour. I expect doing the tour would make it more enjoyable. Here we did a bit of shopping, and a lot of walking, but the ship seemed to have more to offer in plain sight.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We did the self-assist and it was easy-peasy!
