Review summary

The cruise was a very wonderful expensive everyone should try at least once. There are several activities available with employees very willing to help during times of confusion and ensuring your satisfaction.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was a new and fun experience. Many activities and places to visit and try.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was very delicious and allowed for my family to try many different kinds of foods. There was also a variety of places to eat at with nice views to go along with it.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
They were very enjoyable. All the activities were located on the app that made it easy for my family to plan activities and decide what to do/where to go.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The ships are shows and performances were all very satisfying to watch. They happened mainly in the evening so it was a good show for my family to see after our dinners.

Children's Programs

I did not have any children of a young age to enjoy the children programs.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service was very kind and friendly. They were very proactive in their service specifically our waiters, Princess and Eduardo, and our stateroom attendant, Rodolfo who all made sure we were satisfied. They were each very efficient, professional but also always willing to converse with us. Grateful to have been assigned to them given the time my family was on.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ships layout and the common areas were all very clean. There were barely any areas that were dirty including the various bathrooms.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was a perfect fit. Given our family of three, the size fit all of us comfortably and the view of the boardwalk was very pretty. It was nice to see the boardwalk both in the mornings and evenings.

Ship tip

One tip I would give to someone is to download the app and reserve beforehand. Many of the activities would be sold off fast so it would best to reserve them early.

Ports of call

Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey

4 out of 5
This port was nice but there was not much my family did there besides board and leave the ship.

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Florida beaches as very nice. As soon as we arrived, there were rental vehicles that allowed us to travel to the beaches for the day before returning.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
This area was very nice. My family was able to do many different activities including swimming with pigs, jet skiing, and riding the banana boat. It was unique experience to try.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Perfect Day was a gorgeous island. The waters were clear and warm with little waves so my family was able to swim to their hearts content. Having the opportunity to explore the island was also very enjoyable.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
The disembarkation was simple and efficient. The only downside is the crowded parking lot as everyone is leaving.

So excited to be on this ship in September! We were on Oasis last year. Did you happen to find out how to get to the helicopter pad?
