Review summary

Arrived at the pier at 11:50, easy walk through checkin. We had boarding Group #9 and was on the ship by 12:30.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Cagney and LaCucina were wonderful!! The wait staff was awesome. The experience at the Crossings MDR was chaos from the Front desk to the waiters. Very confusing and very slow! The Garden Cafe always had decent choices. The Local Bar had a pretty good Reuben.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Go to the Behind the Scenes with the Captain. It’s in the Bliss Lounge and a very nice Q&A session. He answered questions about 45 minutes and it was Free!! He even stayed for pictures!!

Entertainment

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Everyone we encountered was friendly and very courteous. The Main dining room staff seems a little confused.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Twice we arrived back on ship with no water. A pipe had burst and there was no water to shower or flush with. No explanation. A small stateroom credit would have been appreciated.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin is really small compared to other cruise lines. 3 very small drawers in a small closet. Awkward placement in relation to the bathroom door.

Ship tip

When they give the ALL CLEAR to go to your rooms, use the forward steps or elevators. That’s where they line up the luggage. We walked right past our bags and took them to the room. We were unpacked by 1:30. Others were getting their bags around 5:00.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
Rent a $30 Clamshell on the ship. It’s also your tender ticket, it’s a quiet end on the beach. Close to the Taco Stand, the bar and the bathroom!!

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

2 out of 5
Just not a lot to choose from at this port. We walked off and looked around at the little stores, got back on and scheduled a massage!

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy to walk off, we took the transfer to the airport and our group was called off at 8:25AM. We were at the Miami airport by 9:30.
