There were many parts of this cruise that I liked, and many parts that I disliked. When I first arrived to the port in NYC, everyone waited in a sitting area for about 2 hours and then boarding took about an hour. We got on the boat and had a safety drill which was rather quick, and then a few friends and I went for dinner at the Aqua restaurant. That first night, the service was extremely slow!

The next day was at sea and there wasn't much to do. The gift shop had nice perfume/cologne and a cute worker named Mike-but that was about it. The people at the Excursions Desk were happy to help plan fun for when we got to the islands, (especially that gorgeous guy Christopher!)

The real fun on the boat didn't start until night fall. The entertainment in the Spinnaker Lounge was pretty good but the workers in there were not very friendly. The highlight of the night was always in the Dazzles lounge, where that wonderful singer Dave performed like no other. Kerioke at 10:30 was always fun to watch-especially for the kids.

Port Cannaveral was cold and windy. Enough said. Miami was nice to walk around but still a little chilly. Nassau was great and there was so much to do. Great Stirrup Cay was crouded with cruise people but most were having a good time on the beach & in the water.

The final day at sea was long and quiet. They played "Seabiscuit," in the Stardust Theater which was WONDERFUL!

The Disembarkation was long and slow.

Overall it was a nice cruise. Good food & restaurant. Be sure to visit the Blue Lagoon restaurant which is open 24 hours and is very popular with the teens. The staff was mostly pretty good and, again, the entertainment in Dazzles was excellent. It was a fun cruise and a well spent vacation.
