Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
This almost got a bad review. I was on a 4-day cruise. Breakfast was very good every day. However, I did not enjoy the buffet lunches at all. I ate lunch off ship two out of four days. Dinner on days 1 & 2 in main dining room was not good at all. Service was wonderful, but the food tasted terrible. On the 3rd night, dinner was actually good. Then on the 4th night, dinner (in the same main dining room) was terrific. Food was great. (I am a foodie and eat out constantly). So I guess food is just the luck of the draw. I was afraid to try the specialty dining because I didn't want to pay extra in case the food was terrible there too!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There were so many activities that we didn't get to try them all. So much fun!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service and staff were the best part of the cruise. Our cabin steward was awesome. The bartenders and waiters were awesome. Every staff member we encountered was so friendly and helpful. They are the reason I would definitely cruise again!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was definitely clean! They constantly cleaned everything!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was more comfortable than I expected. I knew it would be small, but it turned out to be just right. Cabin steward kept it immaculate and made us cute towel animals every day! Bed was very comfortable and so were the pillows! (I am a pillow snob!)

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

1 out of 5
Not my scene. We don't enjoy hanging around hotel pools and club hopping. It seems to be the thing to do in Miami. Hotels are very expensive. The view is pretty at the port.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island Did not visit port

Did not go there. They were wiped out by Hurricane Matthew so we went to Key West instead. Key West was wonderful!

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas Did not visit port

Did not go there. Itinerary was changed.

Nassau, Bahamas

1 out of 5
We found Nassau to be smelly and scary. When we went back to our ship, a man at the port getting on another ship had gotten his wallet stolen. Unless you go on a shore excursion to a beach or to Atlantis (resort), Nassau does not appear to be a fun place based on our little experience!
