Review summary
Our favorite part of the cruse was our excursion in Nassau. The ship was older but elegant. The staff was friendly and accomidating. However, they were overworked. We stopped going to the diningroom after the second night and a 2 hour wait to be seated. We then waited another 30 minutes for our appetizers. Local people from our departure port were loud and disrespectful. Overall, the cruise was okay, the ship was okay, but leaving from Jacksonville was NOT okay. Don't do it. Just don't.

Ship tip
Embarking was a nighmare, but debarking was even worse. We were headed like cattle at 8:00 a.m. into various parts of the ship to await our call to disembark. We waited 2 hours. I have never had to be out of my cabin by 8:00 a.m. There are so many other ships to choose from...choose another.
