Review summary

Cruise was great. I loved HMC and Grand Turk. The service on the ship needs some attention to. Either we got awesome amazing service or really terrible service. The service seemed like it was overwhelmed most of the time. But it’s still a great ship and I would dock out of Baltimore again.

We did the Bahamian House Adventure through Carnival. The tour guide, Joe, was amazing. He was totally informative and just a fun guy. It was nice to learn about the island on the way to the excursion. The excursion itself was okay, the host, chef and bartender was absolutely friendly and pleasant. The drink were very heavy handed, I don’t mind the taste of alcohol but it was very hard to finish without adding some juice. Even my husband had trouble getting them down! The food was delicious. My husband and I had chicken, rice and veggies; which were fantastic! They also served us conch fritters, not much our taste but the breading was very good. Almost like a hush puppy. The biggest problem I had with our experience is the excursion includes a beach across the street. While accessing the beach there is a group of ladies with their straw market. I honestly wasn’t expecting on a paid excursion to come across hagglers, especially more aggressive haggling. The beach was shallow which was fine. And actually pretty clean. There was a few rocks but totally manageable if you didn’t have water shoes. The excursion was very short. It felt like as soon as I started to get comfortable it was time to be whisked away to get back on the ship! All in all it was a good day in Freeport, would i do this excursion again? Probably not.
