We sailed out of New York to Port Canaveral and the Bahamas. It turns out it was the Nick Theme cruise which we did not know about until we were on the ship. We were wondering why there were so many children on this cruise. It was pretty contained and the kids were no bother at all. The embarkation process at the Port of Manhattan was easy. We live in Brooklyn and it didn't take long for us to get there by subway. We were on the ship within a half hour of arriving at the port. We went to the Garden Cafe/Great Outdoors for lunch and to wait for our room to be ready. Great day weather wise. The muster drill was easy and quick. The sail away party was a lot of fun.

Our state room was an ocean view room. There was plenty of drawer and closet space. The bathroom was good size and we liked the separation of the toilet and shower. My only complaint was there was no amenities basket in the bathroom like on other cruises. We only got a small bottle of lotion. No biggie! Our room steward and his assistant were excellent. I cannot remember their names. They showed us the little dial that is on the outside of your room that you turn for cleaning, turn down etc. They were very attentive. The bed was really comfortable and we always had plenty of ice and towels.

I give the gym a low rating due to always too being crowded during peak hours Some people hogging the equipment past the 30 minute limit.

Ocean view cabin. Thought it was more than fine for what we were using it for.
