Review summary

The food was great, entertainment the best, the drink service and servers were almost perfect. Getting to and from the airport was easy. Getting on the ship was fast. The directions and needed information(especially maintenance problems and how to debark at ports directions) were in need of improvements.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Quite impressed with everything.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The only complaint I have is that they would always have bingo before each performance. That meant sitting in with the bingo to get a good seat or hope that you got a seat from someone leaving after bingo.That rarely happened.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

Didn't have my child on board, but from what I seen, I would be happy to have put a 5 to 10 year old in there program.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The only problem I had was waiting 10 minutes for a coke at one bar that was not busy and 2 bartenders looked at me with my card in hand and ignored me.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

accessibility to bathrooms on some decks was a problem.Bathrooms on the pool deck were bad in the mens room. Womens was too small to accomidate demand.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The bed was a bit tough, but everything else was top notch.

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5

The maps and accessibility to everything was great. The shops were as nice as shopping at home. Some were too pricy considering the value of the U.S. dollar in the other shops. Paradise Island is a must see, especially Atlantis. A cab for $4.00 one way is worth it, or a water taxi for viewing between the islands is best for $6.00 round trip.

Don't Miss: Atlantis

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5

An expensive port to see. Everything is beyond walking distance. Taxis were expensive and not a lot of time to do much due to travel time. The at port shops were nice with friendly merchants.
