Review summary

It had all the necessary features of a cruise ship, and we enjoyed them, but nothing really special about it.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Very good food quality and taste. We didn't do any of the additional pay restaurants; the quality and variety of the main restaurants was great

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Very good music and a variety of it, as well as a variety of activities for all preferences

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Most of the staff were great - very friendly and personable and really wanted to provide a good experience.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

It was a small ship (fitting for a shorter cruise) and it was kept very clean

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

We went with an interior stateroom to save money - big mistake. The beds were VERY hard, the room was very small, and we felt a lot of vibration from the engines through the headboard when going to sleep

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5

It was colder and windy on our day here, but we did a 3 stop snorkeling tour through Orbitz which would have been good except for the colder weather and rocky waves (and it was a 45 minute taxi out to the site...which got to be pretty long)

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5

We really didn't know what to do here...so we took a 20 min taxi to Port Lucaya and did some shopping and walked along the beach

Don't Miss: nothing that we experienced

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

3 out of 5

Pretty decent variety for the size of available space - a couple of beach options, activities, and a very good beach buffet

Don't Miss: Parasailing...but you're only up for 8-10 minutes

Pros: 2 for 1 martinis in aft lounge bar
