This was 2 year-old ship at the time of cruise. So there was still some freshness to it.

Definitely enjoyed the hairy chest contest.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The one show went to good. My wife at the time won a prize at the music trivia contest.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The staff is always great. No complaints here.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship was only 2 years at the time so the ship looks great.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

This cabin was an Interior with picture window with an obstructed view at the front of the ship. Actually, the obstruction was the bow of the ship, so it was actually better than an Oceanview cabin.

Ship tip

There's plenty to do on this ship. Plan wisely.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

5 out of 5

I had the time of my life here on the Junkanoo Beach excursion. It was absolutely great. This area is closed now. I think it was destroyed by a hurricane. Junkanoo moved closer to the port now.
