We decided to do a short cruise to see how we would like it. We enjoyed seeing the Bahamas but do not feel a need to ever go back to Nassau. Embarkation went quite well but I only have to compare it to other reviews. We found a bar on deck 12 and took in the sights of Miami and South Beach. Anthony, the bartender was very accommodating. The pool was a disappointment for the amount of passengers onboard. It looked like a pool from an '80's Motel 6 with four hot tubs that were always full. Lunch was good and sanitizer is everywhere!

We decided to find our room and were pleasantly surprised with an upgrade. We bought GTY inside and received a porthole. I have never been on a ship and feel it was very comfortable for two. There was a mini bar which we emptied and put our own drinks in it. Then, at the end were charged for them even though we did not use them. The room had a small, flat screen tv. The best part was our steward, Samiada. He called us by name and set up my birthday surprise for my hubby. He decorated our room and there was a delicious cake ready for us to eat.

Dinner buffet was fine. None of the buffets would be considered gourmet but it was sufficient. Breakfast, on the other had, was disappointing. I love breakfast and I didn't find much more than fruit to eat. I love bacon and eggs. The egg station line was too long and the bacon was barely cooked. We ate at The Crossings for dinner one night and it was very good. We did not buy any extra food packages. A foodie may want to do that or be disappointed. The casino is tiny. I did fine but hubby lost. They only are open in International waters. Read more
