Had fun with the family! by A Traveler from Lawrenceville, GA
Sailing date: Nov 2012

Pros:
Food was great.

Cons:
Shows were boring.

The ship is old and needs to be retired. The seas were rough and it sounded like the ship was going to fall apart.

Ship was a little older. If you like to stay up late and don't gamble, the pools and hot tubs close at 10 or 11PM and the last shows end by 1AM.

Mediocre cruise experience by A Traveler from Chapel Hill, NC
Sailing date: Sep 2012

Pros:
the crew (waiters and stewards specifically)

Cons:
food and the activities/entertaiment hosts (except for the Karoake hostess)

This was my first cruise experience. I guess my expectations were too high. The good aspects of the ship was meeting people (other cruisers and the crew). Everything else was dull. I will probably not return to this ship, but I am glad i went.

Pros:
Dining at the Sensation Dining room

Nice size ship by Shanta B. from columbus, GA
Sailing date: Apr 2012

Pros:
the ship wasnt too big to learn ur way around quick,but it was big enough to where u didnt see the same people over and over again.

Cons:
There should be more food options late at night. Pizza gets old rather quick.

Overall, I enjoyed my cruise but with it being my very first cruise I dont have anything to compare it to. The weather wasn't so good the first day so the ship rocked a lot! I didnt get sea sick but i was dizzy for about 3 straight hours! The crew was very nice and attentive to us. They keep u informed the entire time. I think they should place intercoms in the interior rooms because we could not hear the announcements unless we opened our door.

BEWARE OF PORTHOLE ROOMS!!! by Adam M. from Knoxville
Sailing date: Mar 2012

Pros:
beautiful ship, amazingly friendly staff, decent food

Cons:
expensive drinks, very loud noises while pulling into port

Overall the cruise was very nice. We saved some money booking our own snorkeling in Freeport and going to the public beach in Nassau. The biggest negative was definitely the porthole room. As we pulled into each dock we heard very, very loud machinery that also shook our room. This would not have been a problem except for the fact that it goes on for about an hour and occurs between four and seven in the morning. If you are an early riser who is up before then the porthole room might be for you but otherwise just go for an interior or upgrade to an ocean view! 7/10!
