Review summary

Overall, the cruise was a great experience. finding your way around the ship is not easy and the television on the cabins need better channels. Food could be better. Need better menus. Kids should not be allowed to runt he hallways all hours of the night. I hated that most.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

It was smooth flowing.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food was ok, I felt it could be a better variety. The taste wasn't terrible but it wasn't good either.

Seafood Shack

2 out of 5

It didnt have half of the things on the menu

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

I enjoyed the casino and the ice carving. I wasn't able to attend as much as I preferred because it wasn't easy maneuvering around .

Tahiti Casino

5 out of 5

I loved the casino. Every staff was so friendly and it was very clean.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The music was good. It was a great mixture for the crowd aboard.

Children's Programs

I didn't bring any kids with me

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

My room was cleaned every day and the guest i did come in contact with was very helpful.. I had a bad experience at customer care. I was told they would charge one card and ended up charging the wrong card, now I have no money in my account because of that cheers package being moved to the card I said I didn't want to be charged.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

The layout is modern. I feel that the ship could use some updating.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Size is manageable. Cleanliness was great. I had no complaints with my cabin. I do think that it should be more outlets. It was only 1 outlet in the cabin although I did bring a non surge protector, but it wasn't easy to charge phones or anything else. There should be better channels on the television. That sucked.

Ship tip

DO NOT USE YOUR DEBIT CARD THATS LINKED TO YOUR ACCOUNT BECAUSE A HOLD WILL BE PUT ON EVERY TRANSACTION. BRING A FAN,,, ONCE YOU ARE OUTSIDE FOR A WHILE THE ROOMS ARE NOT COOL ENOUGH TO COOL YOU OFF.

Not really exciting not much to do and not enough shed to sit under if you are not doing excursions

Nassau, Bahamas

I love Nassau, It would be easier to move around if a map was provided of the island.

I love how when ppl rate Half Moon Cay saying there's not much to do. It's a private island. Plus mainly a beach day. So if you just sit around then no there isn't much to do. Nassau does have a map. If you look it up online there is a walking map of downtown. Plus you might have asked customer service they may have had one. Sorry you didn't seem to enjoy your cruise. I was on the same one and didn't have the same experience. I enjoyed everything.

Sorry your cruise did not live up to your expectations. We have experienced the late night kids with happy feet issue in the past and it is definitely disturbing!
