Review summary
The crew was wonderful. The food was average at best. It felt like most of the activities were either for the spa or the casino. The kids club was great with lots of activities for the kids. No shops on Half Moon Cay. We live in Florida so skipped the beach. We did go to Atlantis in Nassau and bought the tickets online. It was nice, but very expensive for the amount of time you can spend there since we had to be onboard by 4:15.

Ship tip
I wouldn't bother getting an ocean view since the visibility through the window is very poor. This ship is so old that it only has balconies on the Suites.
Ports of call
Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)
