Review summary

It was our first anniversary and we had a wonderful trip. Freeport isn't a favorite port of most cruisers but the Junkanoo Beach Club provided us a great beach day.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Terminal was overcrowded, I think this was before they implemented arrival time selection in Charleston.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Everything was great with the food and drink except for a long delay on formal night when I had ordered an anniversary cake as a surprise for my wife. They baked the wrong cake and realized it before they brought it out but had to bake another. This led to confusion for my wife as none of our party would order dessert and kept sitting and waiting for like 20 minutes. But it ended well.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Lounged about mostly. Wife tried her luck with the one-armed bandit, but switched over to the quarter pusher and had her gambling fun for a little while. I enjoyed the water slide. Joined in on some music trivia games.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
All the acts were great.

Children's Programs

no kids

Service and Staff

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Older ship showing its age but was kept clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Interior cabin was pretty cramped, but it was what I expected.

Ship tip

To get the most out of the evening entertainment we choose your time dining and show up about 5:20 to get in early.

We did the newly created "Native Quest" excursion and had a very fun time. Afterwards we walked about downtown and did some shopping.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

4 out of 5
Took a taxi to Junkanoo Beach club and spent a few hours on the beach. It was very nice and not crowded at all.
