Review summary

Everything went very smoothly getting to the ship and getting into port. There were many activities on board that you could participate in. Wishing though there would have been more room in the pools and having a shallower end in the adult pool. It was had to enjoy cause you couldn't really swim but just tread water. The ports of call were all very beautiful and easy to get on and off of. Everyone on the ship was always very helpful and kind. Had a wonderful time and dint want to come home. Having the balcony room was amazing dont know if it would of been the same with just the window.

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The drinks were awesome. Having the free bar was wonderful. Didn't go to any specialty restaurants but the buffet was good food but had a lot of starches for food choices. I was wishing for more veggies and fruit selection.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

I know it's hard to acclimate so many people but couldn't really enjoy the pools because they were almost always full and the sports equipment there was always a line to use them unless you didn't go into a port of call.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our steward was awesome and very kind. He was very good at his job. Everyone else on staff was just as great and helpful with any questions.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Room was always very clean. The staff in the e as ting areas were always right there to clean up any spills that may occur. Plus they were always right there to spray our hands so we would help in staying germ free.

Didn't do an excursion but everything seemed so far away from the ship. Had to take a taxi to get to the nearest beach. If I had know it was so far I would of booked an excursion.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5

We went through Priceline for our excursion here. We went to balmoral island and it was wonderful water and I swam with the dolphins. The one thing I would say with this excursion would be to include a all you can drink option or water option as the drinks are very over priced. It was nice having the free lunch and drink for the one excursion but wish it would have been added to the dolphin one as well.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

3 out of 5

It was like an addition to the ship. It was a beautiful island and it was just our ship. There may have been many people that were on from the ship but you still felt you could enjoy yourself as a couple.
