Review summary

This was my first cruise... I did fall in love with cruising. Not from what the ship had to offer more for the forced relaxation (in a good way) No phone, no social media, no work emails

Embarkation

Really didn't know what to expect. It was less stressful then flying

Its a cruise ship...I didn't expect much

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
The cleanliness was good, but the window squeak all night with the rock of the ship. I had to put ear plugs in to sleep.

None. It was my first cruise

Ports of call

Baltimore, Maryland

3 out of 5

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

3 out of 5
I loved the beach...I did not like that I had to buy my drinks when I purchased the drink package.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Not much to do..the beach is about a 10 min walk from port. Next time I will go on an excursion

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

2 out of 5
Absolutely nothing to do, but shop for unnecessary nonsense. You can go on an excursion.. but your only there for a couple of hours. When I go again I will stay on the ship

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
I didn't like how we had to sit and wait to get off the ship...other than that it was ok

That's what I've been telling people for years who concerned with what to do on the ship: "forced relaxation". Take a good book and enjoy.
