	Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 18 - 29 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside 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. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food We choose our time dining, great! Not a lot to choose to eat after 11pm. Stateroom Quality the interior cabin is a good size for 2 adults. Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities the broadway like shows were amazing!!! A must see! 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Family w/young children Stateroom Type: Suite An excellent cruise. Great staff by First Time Cruiser from MI Sailing date: Mar 2012 Pros: Staff, Entertainment Cons: Crowded swimpools Ship is kept in excellent condition. Everything was very clean and nice. We had booked a junior suite and the cabin was in great condition. There was plenty of closet space however it would have helped in a large compartment to hold airline bags was provided. The staff was very friendly and courteous. The entertainment programs were excellent. Could have helped to have better sports facilities. Bingo seemed to be very popular on the ship. The two stand up comedians were great as well. The port of calls were good however would have helped to spend some more time in both ports key west and Nassau, especially if the ship reached Nassau in morning hours then you could spend time on multiple activities Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Loved the Mongolian Wok. However it gets crowded during lunch hours and the chefs hurry up sometimes making a mess of your dish. So the quality of dish on the Mongolian Wok depends upon the chef you get :-). You have more choices of desert in the Coconut Grill dining room than the seated dining during dinner.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony A wonderful first cruise experience by James D. Coggins from Graceville, FL Sailing date: Mar 2012 Pros: The opportunity to relax and do what I wanted to do. Cons: The debarkment process was not clear and we ended up waiting in the terminal because we checked our luggage the night before, but it didn't help us leave any quicker, it actually slowed us down by having to wait longer and go through customs again. The staff person wasn't even clear on what to do. We had a very enjoyable time. We didn't use bars, casinos or swim in the pool, but the room, the meals and the service were great. We got what we wanted, a time to relax, enjoy our time together and have a good first cruise experience. We did what we wanted and had fun doing it. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Stateroom Quality Balcony room is the only way to go. Ship Staff Quality The staff was very helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 18 - 29 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Couple 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!

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 18 - 29 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Oceanview An amazing trip by ticara littles from Tallahassee, fl Sailing date: Mar 2012 Pros: the great service and friendly staff Cons: only one pool and no smoking in staterooms The ship was amazing, it was clean, beautiful, and the staff were so knowledgeable about the ship. Only issue is that there is only one pool...and the kids overrun it. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Amazing! You will literally be double the size you were before you took the trip. Stateroom Quality Our stateroom attendant D, was amazing, they cleaned twice a day! Ship Staff Quality I loved everyone except for the blackjack dealers and that's because I lost soooo much money to them...lol Entertainment & Activities The comedys show was great but I wish the night clubs were more diverse, I seemed like they only played techno music. 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful.

There were a lot of fun things to do on board and all the drinks were awesome! The room service that turned your room over every night was very friendly and were ready to help with anything. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Food available all the time to accommodate any schedule. Dinners were all top quality foods with lots of choices, serves were excellent. Stateroom Quality Very comfortable room even for being on a lower deck, great space with all necessary amenities. Ship Staff Quality I can't reiterate enough how amazing the crew was, they were very interested in your needs, the stewards and serves new your names and were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Entertainment & Activities The onboard itinerary was very good, there were kids and adult shows, swimming, gambling, hot tubs, bars, a beautiful spa and salon. Lots to do on the boat! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

The only thing was the drinks prices were salty. Luckily me and my wife didn't drink much on the ship. Ship Details: Ship Quality The ship was perfect size, with the hand guide that you receive was perfect getting around! Dining/Food The Dinning room was wonderful. Service was Excellent! Stateroom Quality We stayed in a Ocean view room which was perfect for us being first time cruisers. The beds for me were hard but you will have that. Ship Staff Quality I can say enough about the staff. They were great, friendly, would do anything and everything to make your trip a great one. Lee our steward was Wonderful, our dinning room staff were also over the top. Great job to them all. Entertainment & Activities So much to do and so little time to do it. the Comedian Roman was hilarious, we laughed from the time he started till the time it was over. 1 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

Shows were really good too. Cons: Nothing for a one year old to do and the vendors bothering you the whole time you are relaxing on the beach at Nassau. Being that this was our first cruise, I have nothing to compare it to, but thought the ship was beautiful and well kept Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Awesome, I have twin 17 year old boys and they loved having food available to them almost 24 hours a day. Stateroom Quality Next time I would get a balcony room. We had ocean view and with four of us it was a bit tight,. Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities Children's Programs There was only one morning my daughter could take her one year old to the kids room. We suggested that they have a room filled with toys and open space for parents to take children under the age of two to go and play. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful.
