Take a little time to explore the ship when you first get on so you will be familiar with the layout. It is not a hard ship to learn so just a short trip around to acquaint yourself really helps.

If you want some late snacks, grab some food early and put it in your room for later or you'll have to settle for pizza

Shop needs upgrades and repairs but try to stay positive and enjoy what you can. See glass half full

If you go to Freeport - contact Alfredo at CocoNutz motorized bicycles and set up a tour. They do a great job and everyone in our group enjoyed the tour with CocoNutz.

Get there early. If you need more than one plug in a small powerstrip wouldn't be a bad idea. There is only one plug in for each room.

Bring your own sodas, water or drinks

we found a great buy at freeport. We paid 30 pp to ride a speedboat for 30 minute that took us to see the dolphins and other sites

This is a smaller vessel in the Carnival line but it is not lacking anything!

Don't book excursion through the ship.

USE THE PRICE MATCH FOR EXCURSIONS. GET OFF THE BOAT WHEN IN PORT. ENJOY THE DINING TIME.

We booked Freeport snorkeling excursion with viator.com. Excellent deal. Opted for our own self paced walking tour around Nassau for free rather than the $50+ per person bus tour. Used a map we had in our Fodor's book. The docent at the Queen's Stairs was informative and free.

Get out and do all the activities and meet people. I would not recommend getting a shuttle from a hotel but to spend the extra money and park at the port.

Always check with CruiseOne on excursions first, and don't go for the expensive "all-inclusive" beach days offered by Carnival. You can usually get to a beach on your own and have drinks and food at a much lower price.

Serenity is a beautiful area.

Relax and enjoy

Do NOT get the adult drink plan.

I didn't buy any excursions but many of my fellow cruisers who did purchase them were disappointed, (specifically in Freeport). They said that they saw pretty much the same things that I did (and I took a taxi). A lot of the excursion activities were cancelled.

Smaller ship but found it very easy to get around with not alot of walking! We would definitely sail on this ship again!

Faster to the Fun worth the $50
