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.

Our window was dirty and was to be cleaned at the first port of call. They cleaned it, but it wasn't much better.

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.
