Review summary

This was our first cruise and was a blast. My wife and I were kind of worried about what to expect when we first booked the cruise, but was pleasently surprised once we boarded. The agent we booked through was awsome and got us a great deal. The cruise staff, even at the airport, were very helpful and just great. The ship was very clean and fairly easy to get around on, but if you needed help, they had maps everywhere, nice. Food was very good and had good variety to choose from. Not much waiting invoved.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food was great and options were good too. Did not like the fact of the prices of the drinks of any kind. We had to drink water and coffee. Only drinks included with trip.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Never a dull moment on the ship. Schedule kept you going, if you wanted.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Staff was great!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Some of the floors you had to go through clubs orother areas to get to the other side. OK, but when the night clubs were jumping, it was hard to get through without going up the elevator and over then you may have to go back down. I could live with it.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Rooms were good. Your not supposed to stay in them much anyway. Bed was very hard, but slept good.

Ports of call

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

3 out of 5

The beach was to crowded to enjoy, but the food and music were good. Again the drinks were very costly.

Thumbs Up 0

Don't Miss: We took the walk to the light house on the island.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5

Nassau was an OK place. Did not get to go to the resort, but looked like it would have been the place to go. Shops were good. Way too many Jewelry shops for my taste.

Don't Miss: Did not go to one, but wished I had gone to the resort or snorkeling.
