Review summary

First time cruising. Brought too much stuff. Don't need water bottle in Bimini. Over packed. Laundry service is reasonable. 4 to wash, 5 wash and fold, 7 to wash, fold and press. 30 for a full bag of wash. Inside cabin is the way to go. If you want to look out at the sea you can go to multiple decks and look out.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Long Lines not unexpected.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was fantastic. Eating at a different restaurant each night was great.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Lots of activities to do on board. I can't wait to cruise again and do the activities I missed out on.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows were great. Adult relationship oriented. Very enjoyable more like theater than party shows. DJs only played EDM.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Friendly and indulgent staff. Made me feel special.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was very clean. Early morning riser and crew was always working away cleaning the areas.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Size was good for a single person. I really like the no port hole. It was black dark in the room with light off. I got the best sleep ever on a vacation. Air conditioning worked fantastic. I had it icy cold. Nice after a hot day on the beach.

Ship tip

Take a longer cruise if you can afford it. There are too many things to eat and activities to try in four days.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

2 out of 5
Did the millionaire boat tour. I would not do again. Downtown Miami is a ghost town for walkers. Lots of homeless.

Key West, Florida Did not visit port

It's just a Florida tourist trap. Nothing Special.

The Beach Club (Virgin Voyages), Bimini Bahamas

5 out of 5
Loved the beach and the jellyfish. All the people worried about getting stung. The jellyfish were harmless, just weird feeling. Water was just the right temp. The pool was fun. If you want a chair get there early. Lunch on shore was fantastic. Had the snapper and rum cake. The corn not so much.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Once the line started it moved quick. Easy Peasy.

Glad you enjoyed cruising. Great advice for inside cabin. I’ll take a balcony but won’t pay much more for it. There are many who will only sail with a balcony no matter the cost even though they may only spend 15 minutes a day on it. I’m glad for them because they keep the price of inside cabins low.
