Review summary

It was very relaxing and comfortable aboard. The wifi was very expensive and VERY slow. I had to upgrade to premium just to use shutterfly and it felt like 1998 dial-up.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

They helped us print our birth certificates and made it a very smooth process.

Cabin / Stateroom

It was small but adequate and cleaned so much that I had to clean our bathroom as soon as I got home.

Ship tip

Don't bother with any add-ons. What you get is enough.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5

There were NO beaches within walking distance. The city seemed safe but unremarkable.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

1 out of 5

The pier was VERY far from everything and even though we walked almost 13 miles, we still did not find any beach or much of anything.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5

We got up early so we could eat breakfast before leaving our room at 8:30 but then we were stuck waiting to exit the ship for another hour. The actual customs process was very smooth. It would be nice to be able to stay in the cabin until it is actually time to disembark.

Compared with the alternative, i would say the wifi is fast and cheap. What did you expect on a ship in the middle of nowhere?
