Review summary

Nice slow moving cruise to the Bahamas. Perfect if you just want to get away but the ship is old and smells of sewage everywhere!! The reviews are true! You get what you pay for with this one!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food is subpar to say the least. Barely warm even in the dining room. Guys burgers are always great if you want to eat that every day!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Typical activities on every cruise we’ve been on. Nothing new. The cruise director was awesome though!

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The comedians were great but the singers were pretty bad! Don’t waste your time going to the shows when they sing and dance it’s pretty bad! I appreciate they’re efforts but man!

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

The entire ship including the dining room smelled like sewage! It never went away! I read reviews prior to this cruise and read that but figured people were being complainers but they were totally right!!! Disgusting to say the least! We will never ever go on this ship again! Too old and small! Needs to be put down!

Not much to do here but lay on the beach. Beautiful beach but make sure you have water shoes! The food at they’re buffet is very very bad!! Don’t waste your money!

Disembarkation

If you buy too much alcohol it over 6 bottles or anything expensive on board they don’t tell you that it flags you and you have to spend an extra hour waiting to go through customs and pay them more money and cash only!!! They don’t tell you because they know you won’t buy as much then!! Complete bull crap!
