Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The rooms could be a little cleaner. The ship design was not great as you had to go up and down to get to the dining room as the halls did not go through to the restaurant. However, there was plenty of seating indoor on cold days.

Cabin / Stateroom

Cabins could have been a little cleaner. It was small and needs more hooks on the walls. However, it was comfortable enough for the week.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

I did not care for this port.

Key West, Florida

3 out of 5
It's a small island with not much to do.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

I enjoyed Freeport.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

2 out of 5
There was only one ship in port and not enough chairs. Also no one around the beach or pier to assist with my 90 year old mother. Tender boats were awful and the lines were horrific. We were very disappointed with the way things were run on the island. The island itself was beautiful but we waited in line for over an hour and my mom could not stand that long. She will never disembark again on this private island. No assistance or help around when needed!!!

Nassau, Bahamas

Stops need to be safe for tourists. We cancelled our excursion due to safety issues and stayed near the port.

Disembarkation
