Overall, we were underwhelmed with our experience. The buffets weren't open when we wanted to eat, the entertainment and activities just weren't for us. We felt like the cruise line was just out to get more of our money. The staff was not very helpful when our rivate island day was cancelled and they added Freeport as a stop. We weren't given any information about what was available or where beaches were located. Freeport was a much better experience as far as shopping. The vendors were much more laid back and friendly thn in Nassua.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
The main dinig room had great food and service. There weren't many vegetarian choices to choose from. I was disappointed at the buffet hours. The main buffet didn't open until noon for lunch and 6:00pm for dinner. I'm up early, so I like to eat my meals around 11:00am and 5:00pm. The only option was pizza and sometimes sandwiches at those times.
Onboard Activities
2 out of 5
We were very underwhelmed with the activities. We tried mini golf, but they use plastic balls which were blowing all over the place. The pool slide and sports courts had very limited hours. The scheduled activities were mostly giant upsells. Overall, we found very little to do on the ship.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
The DJ's and musicians were good, and our cruise director was funny, but almost too over the top.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The wait staff and room stewards were phenomenal.

The layout was confusing on some decks
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
I was pleasantly surprised with the size and amount of storage in our cabin. It was usually very clean. We did find a couple hairs in our bed that weren't ours, but I'm choosing to assume they were from the room stewards when making our bed.
The vendors are pretty aggressive. We enjoyed the Pirate Republic Brewery, and they were reasonably priced. The walk to Junkaroo Beach isn't too far, but it is crowded.
Seems like cruising may not be the best option for you. Most love it, but it’s not for everyone. The lower-prices cruise lines keep the base prices lower and charge extra for things everyone may not want (alcoholic drinks, wi-if, specially dining, excursions, etc.) If you want something more all-inclusive, check Viking, Crystal, Regent, Oceania, etc.
