Review summary

Being an open bar cruise and also a short cruise, the clientele was quite different than what we are generally used to. First time I have seen folks in the atrium in bikinis or only shorts, no shirt. Nice thing was they stayed at the bars and pool areas most of the time so the shipp did not feel like it was sold ot in other areas of the ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Quick and efficient, would be more so if folks would listen to instructions and not act as if they are entitled.

Small ship, which we love, just wish she had a thermal suite.

Loved the updates.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Very clean, small shower, cabin itself seemed roomier than Epic's, less storage though.

Ship tip

Walk the ship and get a feel for her, the layout is much different than larger ships.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5

Good day in port. Plenty of shopping, our excursion helped us to see more of the "real" Nassau. The trip to Atlantis help us realize our embarkation was pretty good with all the people sitting around the lobby with all their luggage waiting on their rooms.
