Review summary

This was a bit of party cruise - and I met some of the funnest people in the world on it. The poor food really wasn't that horrible as the drinks flowed freely and I had a complete blast.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
I prepurchased the Priority Access and even with it the person checking me in still sent me to the wrong area for boarding. Luckily I figured it out pretty quickly and went to the correct area.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Great drink service throughout the ship. Food however was really not that good. Even tried Cagneys and wasn't impressed.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
This is the part that annoyed the heck out of me. Virtually anything fun (Bingo, Deal or No Deal etc) has a serious up charge. Bingo, for example, was 39-49 or 69 DOLLARS for 3 games. That is right 3. Payout for each game was $120 - so $360 TOTAL. Complete scam. Any of the no charge events such as trivia had NO prizes at all - pretty lame.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
I really enjoyed the shows. The comedic magician was hysterically funny.

Children's Programs

No kids with me

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service was really good. There were drink servers virtually everywhere on the ship.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The main parts of the ship were nice. The cabins are SUPER tiny. Like super tiny. Very clean though.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Could hardly walk around the bed it was so small. Super clean though and did the trick as I was barely in it.

Ship tip

Check out the kiddie pools - was pretty much unused and is right on the front of the ship.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
What can I say - I love Miami. So much to do.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

4 out of 5
Nice enough beach. Food was okay.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
One of my favorite places to visit and just wander the streets.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Absolutely painless. I walked off with my bag.

Every bingo I’ve ever played on any ship is lame and impossible to win. The slots are always easier to win money. I agree with you that the kiddie pool was the greatest. I’m booked for July again and can’t wait!
