Review summary

This cruise was amazing as this was my husband and I first time cruising. We were celebrating my birthday and our one year anniversary. The service and staff were great. They remembered your name throughout the cruise, they were very friendly and never frustrated with the cruisers. As my first time, I was a little nervous because of being out on the water, however they keep us entertained. We were having so much fun that there were times that we forgot that we were even on the ship. It was just an amazing experience.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The service and the staff was amazing. I wasn't able to tip the service and staff like I wanted due to funding became low due to Hurricane Michael, however they were great. I am very appreciative of the service that was received.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

My beds were very comfortable and remained clean the entire time. The entire cabin did. The only thing I would recommend is a bigger refrigerator to store more things in especially for those cruises that are longer then 3 or 4 days.

We did a tour and it was amazing. Our tour guide had a lot of experience and was very intelligent when it came to the different sides of Nassau. He was very well respected by the other citizens within the area as well. There was a lot to do but just little time.
