Review summary

Wonderful Caribbean Cruise to the Bahamas and Half Moon Cay

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and Courteous, but we were ontime and 2nd in line.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Plenty of food and a lot of different choices. Only went to dining room one night since buffet was same quality of food and it was easier.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Okay because we did not take part in any of them other than Pool.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I Wayan was our cabin steward and he was friendly, polite and very honest. I tipped him 20 one day for letting us in our rooms early while they were still cleaning, then I tipped him 20 more later in the week and he stated I already had tipped him earlier. I stated NO, you get more. He thanked me again.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
CLEAN actually it was a bit annoying since they were pressure washing the decks one day and we were getting the over spray, and they also had balcony maintenance on our suite so we were locked out from 9 to 1 but that was an excursion day so no matter.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Not like home, but very nice. Thought I would have had a couch in the room, but it did not have one.

Ship tip

Cash is only needed for excursions, and tips so just like a casino only bring amount you want to spend. Pay your own tips and do not allow them to bill you at end of trip.

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Took a sailing, snorkeling excursion and it was highlight of trip.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
Heaven on EARTH.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Excellent only because I made sure I was ready, and Fast to the Fun. Staff was not prepared and was barking orders to everyone, but we were off ship quickly.
