Chose the cruise to see the Turks & Caicos... unfortunately hurricanes had other plans. The destinations ended up being just the Bahamas... but Half Moon Cay was the cherry on top. Beautiful! Loved loved loved it. We enjoyed the islands, but our day-at-sea was enough to make anyone want to jump overboard... because that's what we were - OVERLY BORED. There isn't much to do on this ship. Once you've seen the tiny pool area, played a game of mini-golf, and walked the "boulevard"... you've done it all. If this cruise didn't have the day at sea, I'd have enjoyed it that much more. It didn't help that we spent our day-at-sea crawling up and down the eastern coast of Florida at 2-3knots. We could see the high-rises along the Florida coast... made me feel like we were being held hostage. I'd much rather had gone back to Miami and stayed overnight in port there, enjoying Miami beaches for the day, then sailing needlessly like we did.

Cabin Review

Ocean View

Cabin 6B

Comfortable but dated, like the rest of the ship. Window needed to be cleaned from the outside. Location is TERRIBLE... it is directly above the gangway(?) so at EVERY port we were awoken by LOUD metal clanging and screeching sounds of the gangway bridge being pulled out.

Half Moon Cay

Rented a cabana. Worth it!
