Review summary

This was our first cruise! I had wanted to go cruising for the last 10 years so needless to say I was super excited for this. The first day on the boat I got sea sick. I was so sick I could barely walk without having to stop and vomit. My husband went to look for help and a really nice man helped us out. They gave us dramamine and I bought a sea band at the gift shop. I spent the rest of the day in bed :( Day 2 was so much better now that I had my sea band. The cruise director was overly happy and made sure we all had a great time. I enjoyed the shows and the comedy club the most. The food was pretty good and the service was above my expectations. Our first port was Half moon cay and it was beautiful. The free buffet was just ok. The 2nd port was Nassau. I really dont have too many nice things to say about Nassau. We went to Atlantis and that was really cool. The first part of the day though we spent walking around town. The locals seem to almost harass you to buy thing or rent a car or scooter. We finally did a carriage ride through the city and the guy driving spent the whole time telling us how his "president" was so much better than ours..... Overall the elation was a great ship!
