Everyone's attitude was courteous and friendly. There was little for my 18 year old to do except playing in the casino. My 15 year old loved karaoke.

We can't say enough for the entire staff and Darrin the cruise director who was awesome.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Size of the ship was huge, did not feel like there were 2,500 people aboard. Public areas were clean. Ship was very well maintained and clean for being a 10 year old ship. The staff are very hard workers as well as courteous and very friendly.

We visited Sea World in Florida. It was very hot. Although we had a lot of fun and enjoyed the shows, the hot weather was uncomfortable.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

5 out of 5

We didn't have much time in Freeport since the ship was leaving at 1:00 pm. We did a shopping excursion which was fun. We went by boat, shopped and toured the island by bus. It was fun and informative.

We snorkeled with the stingrays and swam in the wonderful blue water on this trip. It was a must see trip. We all had a blast.
