Review summary

This was a girls' getaway and offered convenient dates at a very reasonable price. For a smaller ship, it took care of our needs which were sun/sand/relaxation. Wish the food and main evening entertainment were better.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The staggered, assigned check in times made the experience very quick and efficient.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food was good, but not great. Disappointed in the chilled fruit soup-my favorite item on a cruise menu. The ribs on the lunch buffet at GSC were excellent.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
There were plenty of scheduled daytime activities and evening game shows. My rating is a 4 due to Bingo. The daily schedule clearly stated that you could play for as little as $20.00. Was told by the entertainment staff that if you were chosen as Bingo King/Queen, then you would get a $20.00 discount. This was very misleading and falsely advertised.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
We enjoyed watching Jason, the guitarist, several nights in the Windjammer Lounge; he was very good and entertaining. The main shows consisted of the first evening's entertainment sampler, a comedian on two evenings, and a stage show. We were disappointed that the main show one evening was a 'sing a long' in the Atrium and that the comedian was the main attraction on two nights.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Excellent and friendly service from all staff.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
For a smaller ship, it had a nice and easy to navigate layout. The ship was very clean and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The beds and pillows were very comfortable. There was ample storage in the cabin but storage was lacking in the bathroom. The cabin was quite soundproof and we were not disturbed by outside noise.

Ports of call

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

4 out of 5
We relaxed on the beach for both days on the private island. Games and water sports were offered and the buffet lunch was very good, but there was there were few amenities (pool/swim up bar/hammocks/children's playground, etc).

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
The new method of disembarkation (facial recognition and no paperwork) was extremely fast.
