Review summary

We had been to Nassau before. Very disappointed in the food. The onshore excursions were severely limited and nothing that was available was not even remotely interesting.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

It was great. It was fast and there were no issues

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

The variety was not there. The food was mostly tasteless except for Guy's Burger Joint and Blue Iguana. The food description on the dining room menu was not always accurate and could have been better. The service was fantastic. The salad bar at Ruby Tuesday's is far superior.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

There could have been more.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The staff were phenomenal. Gaemer and the dining room staff (Desmond) were wonderful.
