Review summary

The ship was decorated beautifully for the holiday! The crew members were all very helpful and nice. Food & drink selections were great. Small boat so extremely easy to navigate. Bliss lounge, the casino, and Stardust Theater were my favorite places to go in the evenings. Holiday show was spectacular! Very peaceful and quiet most of the time so it was definitely the perfect getaway vacation from the cold winter storm back home. Loved it!

Very smooth and easy process. Selected the 12pm boarding time. Arrived to terminal around 11:30a and was on the boat by 12 awaiting our rooms to be cleaned.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Restaurants had a nice variety of food each day. Didn’t get to use our specialty meals because they were all booked but the complimentary restaurants were great. Will try Cagney’s if I go again! The drinks were top-notch—there wasn’t a moment I didn’t have a drink in my hand. Took full advantage of the unlimited bar package

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Casino was definitely my favorite! Checked out the arcade, basketball court was nice as well as ping pong tables. Massages offered were pretty pricy but the area looked very nice. Will want to try next time!

Entertainment

Amazing and wonderful holiday show!!!!!!! So glad we cruised on Christmas—the singers and dancers were great. Comedy show was so-so but still overall fun. Bingo and group games played in the theater and Bliss lounge were super entertaining. Farewell party on the last night was awesome!

Ship tip

Book specialty dining the very first day as reservations go quick :(

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Again, very chilly but brought a jacket along. Did a city tour, shopped at a bargain market, toured Atlantis and a few local favorite restaurants. Couldn’t do many of the excursions due to how cool it was outside (snorkeling, kayaking, etc.)

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Miami was beautiful as always. A little chilly along with the weather everywhere else in the country this weekend but still had fun.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Took a bit longer than expected due to a system issue but once off the boat and back through passport check, very easy to order a ride-share and get back to the airport.
