Review summary

Our cruise aboard the Ecstacy was another short 4 night cruise, but we loved every minute of it. The ship is showing signs of age in some areas - a few tiles missing in washrooms, bits of rust here and there, but I look my age too! LOL

Our room this time was a porthole right near the front of the ship and it was great. We felt very little movement and the porthole windows gave us the daylight we wanted when we woke up each morning.

The crew were great and very friendly all the time, and we had no complaints about anything. The food was from the older menu which we preferred, and it was so nice to have tablecloths in the MDR each evening.

We chose to wander Nassau on our own and then he'd to a local beach for a few hours, which was close to the ship. It was an enjoyable day, but I think we would stay onboard if we cruise to Nassau again.

I don't think we will book a short cruise like this again - the time flys by way too fast to really enjoy all the ship has to offer. 

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

We enjoyed the "old" menus best. The tablecloths each evening seem to add to the ambiance of a lovely Diningroom. We really like Your Time Dining.

I am glad that you had a good cruise. I will be on the Ecstasy for the first time in 40 days. I can't wait for the MDR food & those wonderful drinks.
