Review summary
We took our two college age children on this cruise to the Bahamas for Christmas. A treat for us all. The cabin was great, service fantastic, food wonderful, staff friendly, professional. The ship was decked out in Christmas glamour. Our dinner mates were perfectly matched as we all had college aged kids with us. Looking for our next cruise opportunity! The only minor improvement would be hot tubs and pool time for adults only. There were a lot of kids and they filled the pools and tubs from sunup to sundown.

Ship tip
We booked Freeport snorkeling excursion with viator.com. Excellent deal. Opted for our own self paced walking tour around Nassau for free rather than the $50+ per person bus tour. Used a map we had in our Fodor's book. The docent at the Queen's Stairs was informative and free.
