Review summary

we had a great time. There was construction going on that was disturbing and the rooms where stuffy take a fan. Brunch was my favorite meal the entire time. Half moon cay was the best part of the trip would love to go back but avoid Nassau. I over packed and should have bought the drink package. My husband loved the pour your own beer station. There was always something to do on the ship.

Room was stuffy hated the twin beds being together to make one bed. The shower was amazing. Plenty of storage. Loved room service even though they forgot half my food. Loved seeing what towel creature was left each day.

Ship tip

Do excursions don't try to do tours on your own. Freeport is a waste of time unless you go to private beach. Nassau was scary and overrated. Will not return there. Staff was awesome. Go to comedy shows. The day we left was the most hectic getting off the ship needs to be better.
