Review summary

The cruise itself was a little chilly, but mirrored the quality of past cruises. I think Freeport should be taken OFF as a port destination. It is too run down from past hurricanes and nobody is fixing it up. The locals certainly don't have the money and the investors have all taken money and run.

Food and Dining

Food was quite bland...even at the formal dining table. Nothing like other cruises I've been on. Not tasty at all.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

1 out of 5

Freeport is sadly rundown. I was shocked. We took a private tour of the island and there was nothing left that said "paradise" about it. Nassau, of course, is still wonderful to visit. Whether you take an excursion or walk into town, you get the full caribbean vibe.
