Review summary

Good time after 24 months on dry land. Key West was dropped from itinerary :( . Nassau was Nassau (lotta port construction going on) and Freeport was Freeport. Half Moon Cay was very nice, beautiful beach, very clean. Beware, bar tab on the Cay is not included in Cheers package :( Regarding food: evening dining was good. Lido was poor unless you got an omelet or fresh cooked to order eggs for breakfast and at lunch selection poor and food was cold unless you had the “Wok”, pasta, Pizza, seafood bar and of course Guys Burgers were excellent. Service people were EXCELLENT throughout the ship!

Cabin was excellent, Z & Madam X kept it that way. Thank you!

Ship tip

Lower, more forward decks are quieter and smoother.

Ports of call

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5
Industrial port with smallish dock area, lots of stands selling shirts and the usual local trinkets. Local beer is excellent at Dick & Willie’s!

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

Very nice, very clean. Carnival owns this island. Beware, bar tab is not covered by Cheers package.

Nassau, Bahamas

Nassau is Nassau, very safe. Nice shops with local stuff and LOTS of jewelry stores.

Returning from Half Moon Cay. New little friend greets each evening. Excellent bartenders in the casino!
