When I first saw the ship I was a bit disappointed of it's size, after seeing it next to the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder. But once on board I realized the size of the ship doesn't decide the fun on the boat.

All public areas were easily accessible and comfortable. The layout of the ship made it easy to get around and find places.

The food on board was great. There were many choices from the buffet or dining room. The service in the dining room was excellent.

My cabin was on the Continental Deck, below the lounge deck and above the dining room. It was very quiet, which surprised me being below the casino. There was even no noise from the hallway. The cabin was made up of a queen size bed and bunk beds, and my family still had room to move about. The bathroom included a full size bathtub.

I attended one show, a magician. He was very entertaining. The cruise staff were terrific. Very friendly and always eager to help. They seemed to be having a good time themselves, which in turn made everyone have a good time.

Our cruise was to Nassau, where we took a limo tour of the city when we arrived Saturday. The limo tour was basically a waste of time and money for me. The limo was hot, bumpy and the tour seemed to consist of the slums of Nassau. Sunday was snorkeling on a coral reef, then off to Salt Cay Island for a day of island fun. Despite the strong current and high waves, we still enjoyed snorkeling. The reef was beautiful and there was a variety of tropical fish to view. Once we finished snorkeling it was off to Salt Cay where we spent the remainder of the day. On Salt Cay there were plenty of activities and a good lunch buffet provided by the cruise. All in all a GREAT day! For those who wished to leave there children and spend time alone, the cruise provided a great children's program.

Most of the passengers on board appeared to be young families. Everyone seemed pleasant, and yes, once you got to know them would have them over for a cookout.
