Got on board fairly quick but waited forever for our bags, over 5 hours, and we had FTTF, so that was a waste. Sea Day was spent on the Serenity Deck ( FYI: don't go on a cruise during Spring Break) Nassau: Was typical cruise/tourist shopping experience, although Giotta Pizza was awesome!
HMC was my favorite island by far, I want to live here!!! another Sea Day on the Serenity Deck, was actually very cold out (March)and I'm from WI, so that's saying alot. The shops on the ship are small but have what you need or want. The jewelry shop was expensive. Had fun in the casino, I played Blackjack, no slots though. Shows were horrible except the comedian-Cowboy aka Manuel Hung!!! Our MDR stewards were fabulous!!!!

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
I am not a burger person but Guy's burger joint was spot on. I Loved the Blue Iguana for the tacos, they actually make your tortilla right on the spot. The buffet was fine, nothing fancy, just the basics. The Main Dining room food was good but again. nothing to write home about. The waiters though were funny, personable and really aimed to please!!
Onboard Activities

I cannot rate these as all I did was dip in the pool to cool off and get back out. It was Spring Break for the East coast, so the pools were packed with obnoxious drunk stupid acting "young" adults
Entertainment
1 out of 5
Absolutely awful...I have done 11 cruises and this was by far THE worst I have ever seen. They couldn't even sing on tune. Now, the comedian (Cowboy) he was funny...raunchy but funny and of course, Cam was the CD and he is always great
Children's Programs
No children
Service and Staff

Room Steward was polite but snarky at the same time. Did her job but was always making little comments. Dining Stewards were fabulous!!!
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
Small ship, very dated and dark wood everywhere. Would be nice to brighten it up. It was clean in a daily type of way but not in a deep clean type of way...I suppose that's hard to do with people in and out constantly
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We had a handicap suite. Bunk bed with sofa bed underneath right to the left behind the door when you come into the room. To the right of the door was 2 large closet type wardrobes and then the beds were made into a king and then the door leading out to the balcony. There is an adjoining room door in the corner. The bathroom was handicap accessible, so we could just walk into the shower..fabulous!! Plenty of storage along the wall at the end of the king bed. 2 more storage type wardrobes and then the desk area went all the way across to the other wall, with 2 sets of 3 drawers and a safe and fridge/cooler. I would book this room again.
No one bothered us. We walked all the way to Graycliff Chocolate Plantation approx 1 mile out of town and had no problems. Visited the Straw Market, women called to me but you just have to be firm and keep going, so no problems. Went to the Harley shop for a couple of t-shirts, they were very polite. Went to Giotta's for lunch...Pizza!!! OMG, I come from a town that makes fabulous pizza and this pizza was phenomenal - I highly recommend!! Went to Del Sol and Cariloha...it was as expected. Stopped at a couple of the jewelry shops but no one was really willing to haggle to the degree that I wanted, so be prepared to pay their "lowest" price because that's all they are willing to do.
I cannot say enough great things about this island...I want to live here!!! The white sand and the clear water with the blue sky.....made my year!!!! We rented a cabana (#10)...worth every penny!!! Never really left our beach area except to go to the BBQ, which was just ok but I was there for the beach & water, so no biggie.
We had Faster to the fun and while we were off the boat by 10, I wouldn't say that the extra money helped in that respect. It seemed almost everyone was off the ship before us...just crazy
We loved this ship. And always get faster to the fun. Although we’ve had a few issues I’m not going to complain about them. Your the boss of your trip, only you can decide if your going to have fun. Can’t let a few hiccups ruin your fun!
