As a first time cruiser it was wonderful, aside from my unfortunate experience with Diamonds International and that’s on the way that company treats people, not on the cruise line.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Plenty of room, closet space was nice. Very clean and well taken care of twice a day. Store luggage under bed so as not to take up closet space

Ship tip

Plan your days ahead of time using the day planner delivered each evening

Shopping experience was stressful. Be very careful in Diamonds International...very pushy, fast talkers and NO RETURN POLICY THAT YOU INITIAL ON BACK, YOU KNOW THE PRINT YOU CAN HARDLY SEE, BUT THEY DON’T TELL YOU THAT. THEN THEY ARE UNWILLING TO ASSIST ONCE PURCHASE IS MADE. VERY BAD EXPERIENCE WITH THIS COMPANY. DOESN’T MATTER WHAT PORT, ONCE PURCHASED YOU ARE STUCK...CORPORATE WILL NOT HELP YOU. THEY PRETTY MUCH TOLD ME TOO BAD YOU SIGNED THE PAPERWORK.

Nassau, Bahamas

To be fair...rating was due to weather. Torrential downpours so stood under a food area with everyone else crammed in there for two hours then returned to ship. I’m sure on a good day it is beautiful.
