Review summary

I went on 4 night Bahamas cruise with my family. This was my first time on a cruise. Our room was very clean, and our stateroom stewart did an excellent job keeping it that way. The buffet also had more than enough delicious food for us to eat, and the waiters cleaned the tables really quickly and kept it clean as well. The dining room food was also great. All the staffs that we met were friendly. it would've been great if they provided us with more variety of activities. I also would've liked to get some more direction when we first got on the ship. Because after they swiped my boarding pass, I had no idea where to go, or how to get to my room. So we have to figure it all out on our own. It wasn't hard, but I would've liked more guidance. Besides these two minor points, I would definitely go on a cruise again. I do recommend it.

it was clean, our stateroom steward can in cleaned morning & night. Always had fresh towels, and our beds were made every time we came back into the room.

Ship tip

We had a great time on this ship. Food was great, staff was awesome, entertainments were great, but you can add some variety of activities. I saw other people mention this, but the drinking water has an unique taste. Nothing gross, but water flavors will be helpful. Showers only had hot water.
