Review summary

Sometimes bigger is not necessarily better. She is a smaller ship with less people, which made navigation and service top notch!

Cabin / Stateroom

Our suite was amazing! We weren't there a lot b/c we were out and about as much as we could be.

Ship tip

The ramp from the dock to the ship can be challenging for those with health issues.

Since we'd been to Nassau many times, we did the British Hilton Resort and had a wonderful, relaxing day enjoying the pool and the ocean.

Glad you enjoyed your cruise. I much prefer smaller ships to the megas. It would be nice if they built some newer small ones.

We had a fabulous trip! We met the best bartender ever he was in the atrium, his name was Hery , also our room steward was awesome too his name was Culvett!! We had the best time!!

Had a great time. Enjoyed eating in the dining room each night. The wait staff was excellent. Food was great there. Food on the list was good all except the cakes didnt have much flavor. The frosting tasted more like butter or grease than any real flavor.

We made the best of this old lady but there was no avoiding that smell of sewage🤢
