Review summary

The staff was exemplary. I was so disappointed with the food. Alcoholic drinks were watered down, food was no better than school cafeteria. I've been on many cruises and I was shocked at how the quality has gone down as the prices go up.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Lines long. Confusing as to where and what you needed to get on board. Verify was a joke.

Excursions were too expensive. If all you want to do is shop then you are in the right place. I've been to Nassau many times in the past on other cruises and never was I so happy to get back on the ship.Arrivrd in the afternoon and discovered 4 other ships in Port with us. UGH AWFUL!

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island Did not visit port

T shirt stop. Not interested.

Disembarkation
