Group of 13. We had a great time, there were just some things that could be improved on and seems to have been lacking compared to our other cruise experiences. Mostly, it was about the food and entertainment. Positive things were Camp Ocean, activities available, and the personnel.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Arrived at the Port and walked right on through the process. Quick and easy to board.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Service was always good, but the food wasn't up to par. Ick. Guy's burgers and The Blue Iguana had really good burgers and tacos, but they close at 6, so that's a limited window to nail those options down. The pizza is located in an adults only area at the back of the ship. Seems like it might be a good idea to make that more accessible to families.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Mini golf, Camp Ocean, swimming, waterslide, towel folding, football playoff game, ping pong, pool. We did enjoy the activities. Big shout out to Camp Ocean. We had kids 4, 7, 12, 12, & 13. They all loved it.
Entertainment
1 out of 5
The shows in the theatre were disappointing. Could stand to have comedians earlier, better music and dancing, circus or magic show.
Children's Programs
5 out of 5
They loved it. Staff is doing something great there. Build a bear was a hit.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
All ship personnel were, friendly, courteous, and helpful. Impressive.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
It would be nice to have more shade around the pool area. I didn't understand why pizza was in at the back of the ship in an adults only area. All public areas are clean and well maintained.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The toilet had a strong urine odor. Not sure if that was a maintenance issue? It looked clean. It just didn't smell right.
Ship tip
Go with another company. If you do choose this itinerary, don't expect to eat very well. The food on the buffet and in the dining room wasn't too great. Choices seem limited. Princess Caye grill was terrible. I am fairly tolerant of food. I can eat about anything, but that wasn't good. I tries a hot dog, brownie, and cookie. I didn't eat it. Yuck.
It's beautiful in Nassau. The water, the beaches... lovely. We walked to Fins Up water park at Margaritaville. $110/adult, $55/children, 4 and under free. Pricey to get in, food and drunks are pricey, but overall we had a great time there. Not too crowded, clean, family fun. Easy to keep track of the kids. Plenty of seating. It was a good day. We were able to walk to and from.
Swimming pools would be a nice addition to this area. Look at Harvest Caye for reference. The kids enjoyed surf fishing and Stingray excursions. Don't expect to catch much, if anything. Plenty of chairs. If you have children, they charge for life jackets at the beach. Just seems like a money grab every where you go. More shade areas would be nice. Really, just could be alot nicer overall. Better sidewalks and landscaping.
