Enhanced fine dining package and beverage package (no alcohol) were well worth the up front expense! No issues at all securing reservations.

Very unique experience. The chocolate ball dessert was worth the various dishes we weren't quit into.

My daughter (14) loved the teen club.

Didn't bother leaving the boat... it's only FL afterall. Good day to tan poolside on the boat. I never had chair issues others mentioned but i was also an early bird so decks were relatively empty when I got situated.

Cococay (Cruise Line's Private Island)

Looking forward to ongoing updates being completed. Snorkel excursion was a fun time.

Thumbs Up 2

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5

6 boats arriving same day was a lot but island is clearly dependent on the tourism $. If you don't like shopping or really over priced water parks then this one isn't for you.
