Review summary

The ship and length of the cruise was perfect for the time that we had. Our vacations do not always workout for the best times so anything longer wouldn’t work for us right now.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
First cruise and had no issues getting through security.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Food and drinks were good. The issue we had was that when we purchased the cruise we were supposed to have all of the Free At Sea offers. Which included specialty dining but when we went to eat we were told that our package did not include anything.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
There were activities on the ship but we did not participate

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The music played in the pool area was good to listen to. We did manage to catch the end of the 80’s music show which was good. Most of the issues were that we didn’t plan any because it was my first cruise and I wasn’t sure was going on.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
The service was great from the waiters. They remembered you and what you were drinking after your first drink. The room steward we never saw or had any contact with. Most of the staff that we encountered were very polite and always acknowledged you politely. The issue that we did encounter was at customer service when we inquired about having to pay for our meal the night before and she only printed out our room charges and handed it to us.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ships layout was ok but since it was my first time I just wandered around looking at/ for different places. All of the common areas were very clean and very well maintained

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was very comfortable the right size for us and very clean.

Ship tip

If when you purchase your cruise and get the Free At Sea offer just make sure that you actually get it

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
We flew into Orlando on Wednesday for our Friday cruise. Port Canaveral is a great place to be. We did not any of the excursions offered but did go to SeaWorld the day before our cruise.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
We did not do an excursion there but we did spend the day relaxing and enjoying the ocean.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
No excursions, we walked around Nassau and checked out the stores.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Disembarkation was good. We packed everything at had breakfast. When we left our room and found our luggage, a gentleman with a cart asked if we wanted help with our bags. He took the bags and we went around the line bypassing the extremely long line waiting to go through customs. We were at our car within 15 minutes of getting of the ship.
