Review summary

First cruise and we will definitely go again! Had a great experience overall.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Super quick and easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Enjoyed the food in the main dining room the best. The specialty steakhouse was nice, but not worth the up charge when the main dining food was quality. Buffets were better than expected and always had food to grab and snack on.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Entertainment

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Tight space, but to be expected on a cruise ship. Bed was much more comfortable than I expected.

Ship tip

Don't count on Great Stirrup Cay to be your only beach day, because buzz on the ship was that they only make it to the island about half the time. If I could do it over again, I would have scheduled a beach excursion in Freeport to ensure I got my ocean fix.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

3 out of 5
Did the hop on, hop off after we disembarked and it was a TERRIBLE experience. Would not recommend.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5
We only got off the boat to visit the vendors right in the port. It was nice to browse some of the inexpensive souvenirs and get a drink in a coconut :).

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We did a walking rum tour, not affiliated with the cruise line. It was awesome!

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

This day was cancelled due to rough waters. Such a bummer. Did a day at sea instead, and the pool deck was so crowded, we could barely find a place to lay out.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Super easy and quick.
