Review summary

A great cruise, on a very cool boat. Busy, but fun

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very quick and easy. Line was managed well and we were on the boat in 30 minutes

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was presented well but was lackluster for breakfast and lunch. Dinners were good, proteins were always seasoned well and cooked perfectly. However the chef has a fascination with tomatoes. Almost everything had grilled tomatoes on it somewhere. Not a bad thing, but they must have had a surplus or something

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Was never a dull moment. Always plenty to do and see. Only problem was that everyone else had the same ideas, so a lot of stuff got booked right away. Most times, so long as you were willing to wait in line you can experience something

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Live music was everywhere. The non-270 shows were pretty good, they had to work with the limitation of their venue and they got very creative. The 270 venue, the tech is impressive but the shows were incredibly "busy". There was always some type of action going around the stage which made things difficult to track. Also seating arrangements made visibility of some elements difficult.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All the staff were very helpful and very kind during our stay

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Layout is good. Deck 3 is a little disjointed due to the casino being locked down while in port. Also entrances are a little weird

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very spacious, bed was a little firm but comfy. Room steward was prompt and courteous. Amentites were good, plenty of places to stash things.

Ship tip

Proteins are cooked well, bakery items not so much. Regular coffee is pretty decent, and you can get to-go cups in the Cafe promenade. Specialty dining was cheap and very much worth the price. The quality is a couple steps better than the standard fare.

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Lots of high pressure sales here too, but lots to see and do

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Sales are very high pressure, but the location is beautiful

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

4 out of 5
High winds canceled almost all activities. But it's a very beautiful beaches and a very relaxing stop

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

4 out of 5
Expensive, but the beaches are nice.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very quick and got off the boat rapidly
