We left out of ny. We took the metro in, then caught a cab from grand central station, around $13. Allow extra time for traffic. Wasn't sure if we had to check our carry on luggage or could have just brought it with us and skipped that part of the line. Took almost 45 minutes just to do that.

The staff was exceptional. Friendly and helpful. The food was great. Top notch entertainment and activities. We enjoyed the variety of dining options. We did the glass bottom boat tour in Nassau Bahamas. This was a good value and the guide was funny.

A few areas needed improvement. The theater seating was very uncomfortable. The mini golf course was terrible. The embarking process was tedious. Long lines to drop off luggage then long lines to get your key card.

Cabin Review

Balcony Stateroom

Cabin BD

I was so glad we chose a balcony room. We enjoyed the view. The room was a good size for just the 2 of us.

Port Reviews

New York (Manhattan)

Easy to get to from grand central station. Tedious boarding process.

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

Nice views. Arrived at 3 pm instead of 1pm so not enough time to do anything here.

Great Stirrup Cay

Enjoyed our lunch and some beach time. Straw market was very pricey. Signed up for an early tender and beat the crowd.

Nassau

Enjoyed the informative tour on the way out. Had a free glass of rum punch, then got to see some fish and coral. A good value.
