Although it is a little bit convoluted, it moves smoothly. Boarded boat less than 30 minutes after arriving.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The layout is fine. I have seen other reviews that complain about the layout. It really never seemed to be an issue for our group, even the first time cruisers. Serenity area is really nice.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Nice cabin. Seemed a little small. Great access to serenity area. And we did use the spa occasionally.

Ports of call

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5

Very industrial. Can do most souvenir shopping in port. Otherwise make it a beach day.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5

FANTASTIC!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!! Our group rented the private oasis and had a great day. Service was prompt and the bartender kept the blender going the whole visit. I am spoiled now. Food was pretty basic but good. Nothing special. Always loved HMC, but now I am going to need to travel with a big group so we can rent Oasis.
