Review summary

I am happy to be part of the "Return to the Fun", and cruising again. Staff and crew did work hard to make everything Awesome for all of us. I will miss the Guy Burgers and Taco Salads.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The crew worked hard to keep everyone's glass and plates loaded, the deck crew hustled up and down from the Bars, drinks seemed a bit lite on alcohol, but good.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was taken good care of by staff, I did not hear a lot of the night life after nighty nite time, close enough to food, drinks and spa

Ship tip

The ship needs a few upgrades for the app. I had gotten used to pixles gallery on my phone and not having to play Easter Egg hunt for my photos. I did have the "Cheers" package and found out that it does not cover everything, I wanted a "V8", and settled for a Strawberry Banana smoothie, they were not covered. Extra $5.02, not a huge cost, but a lesson learned.

Ports of call

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

5 out of 5
It has been several years since visiting. Glad to see there is a lot more shops opening up. I always get a few sodas from the older gentleman in the square, great dude.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
It was a great area for shopping and Loved the "Bearded Clam". It was a long walk to and from ship due to construction. I was not in a rush, but do see how it could be hard on older or less moblie persons, it should be great in a year or so when completed.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

4 out of 5
Shuttle was good transport to a beach that had no place to get shade, unless you are the first few on the beach. Needs a lot more clam chairs or shaded areas.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
The lead for the platinum / diamond needed some help due to several cruisers could not or would not follow simple instructions. They needed a few extra people to keep control over the one that felt they were more priority then other and did not need to wait their turns.
