Review summary

This is a good cruise, just to get away. Both BImini and Nassau are nothing special. Leaving out of Tampa is very easy and we will leave from there again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

wait time from arrival to on the boat just about 30 minutes. More than acceptable!

clean ship, everything easy to find.

Cabin / Stateroom

bed comfortable, in future, should be more in middle of boat.

Ship tip

ship for its size is quite good. Boat did not seem overcrowded at all.
