Review summary

This was our very first cruise and our first time traveling out of the country. We were impressed with the loads of information received. We felt prepared to travel and were excited. Our stateroom was always clean. Each time we returned to our room our bed was nicely made, our blankets were folded and our towels were fresh. Even if we sat on the bed for a few minutes and left the room, when we returned, the bed was smoothed. This made us feel relaxed and comfortable. It's the little things! We very much enjoyed our first cruise. The staff was a lot of fun and there was always something to do. If you were bored, it was your own fault because there was always something going on onboard. There was truly something for everyone! We indulged in the specialty dining upgrade package. Our food was AMAZING. We were so impressed with Cagney's Steakhouse, that we dined there twice! The service was exceptional. We laughed because we weren't allowed to pour our own wine. We aren't used to that type of service, but it sure did make us feel special and fancy once we learned the "rules". We will definitely be going on a cruise again...soon!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We were so impressed with the cleanliness. We couldn't believe that each time we left the room, our bed was smoothed over and our towels were replaced. This made the cruise and our vacation so enjoyable. One time, I came back to the room and my bathing suit was hanging on a hanger to dry! This was so considerate!

Ship tip

Enjoy the entertainment. It is mostly all free and will be sure to provide you with many laughs and memories for a long time!

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

We hung out at Senor Frogs. This was a blast! The port was mostly shopping and the beach was a little bit of a drive away unfortunately, so we didn't get to experience that in this port.

Nassau, Bahamas

Amazing! This port was a lot of fun. We traveled to the Atlantis resort and our tour bus guide was hysterical. We got a tour of the town which was really neat.

This island was beautiful! Such white sandy beaches and clear water! There was plenty to do on the island and there was even a complimentary lunch provided!
