All of the staff was excellent. Everyone addressed us by name and were so friendly. Cruise director MarQ was the best.

The ship was well maintained and the crew was always cleaning and wiping. I felt like they were on top of keeping everything sanitized.

Cabin was a nice size for two people and had a connecting door to the cabin next to us.

Absolutely loved this port. The water was beautiful and relaxing on the beach was just what I needed. I was ready to get a job with Carnival so that I could stay.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5

I really enjoyed this port but I have to say that the street vendors were a little pushy. I understand that they are trying to make a living but it can be a little intimidating.
