Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We ate dinner only in the dining room and found the food very good and sometimes outstanding. The service was always wonderful.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The entertainment at the nightly show was only ok, and pretty routine.Some of the entertainment was even a bit old for the 30-50(top) crowd on this school vacation week cruise. The second city improv group was outstanding and approriate for all ages.They should be on more often.

Children's Programs

3 out of 5

My 9 year old was bored and felt there was alot of waiting around.My teenager(a joiner by nature) loved it. The staff seemed very knowledgable and friendly, the activities safe,if alittle stale.(we can play board games at home)

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Staff went out of their way to please.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Deck spaces were very crowded,too much space seemed devoted to the gym and spa pools on this family oriented ship

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Pleasantly surprised with the space afforded an inside cabin on deck 10.

Ports of call

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

3 out of 5

We didn't pick this trip for the itinerary and this was probably part of the reason.The beach was nice,but crowded. The visit short and rushed. The evening beach party was a nice change of pace. Kid's loved the volleyball and the island music under the stars.Would be great if stopped here earlier for a sunset party.

Don't Miss: Beach party, dress casual brief, but nice chance to get your feet sandy.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5

Walked the gauntlet of salespeople to spend a couple of hours in the shops. The port area is a little confusing.

Don't Miss: Straw market for bargains

Port Canaveral, Florida

3 out of 5

Shared a cab with 2 other families to the Kennedy Space Center, reasonable and easy to do.Lot's of pressure to see Universal/Disney parks, but families that did felt trip was rushed and expensive.
