Review summary

As first time cruisers, we had a wonderful experience. Nassau and Half Moon Cay are wonderful ports of call. They are worthy of visiting again. Freeport is not a good trade with Grand Turk which was cancelled due to hurricane damage. All of the carnival excursions at Freeport were not open to this cruise. Fortunately the existing excursions were still good.

It is an old and relatively small ship, but still was kept clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

The cabin was not as big as expected but still ok. The only negative thing was the door to the balcony could not be locked properly.

Freeport in exchange for Grand Turk IS a disappointment. But, thatbeing said, it's all about 'ship life'! Glad your first experience was a good one. You'll be booking your next one soon!
