Ports of call

Jacksonville, Florida

Easy to get to the port, staff was friendly and made the embarkation process easy. Safe place to park your vehicle. Plenty of security.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
Everyone was friendly. The beaches were clean, lots of lounge chairs. We did not do any excursions.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We did not do any excursions. We walked the city and shopped. It was easy to get past all the guys trying to get us to buy an excursion...we just told them not interested and kept walking. Most of the locals were friendly.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We had bought faster to fun which helped with disembarkation too. We were some of the first ones off the boat. We carried our luggage off which also made things go faster.
