Review summary

I enjoyed it for the most part. I would like to go again but not during the rainy season. Can't fight mother nature! The staff were very, very courteous. I would consider removing Amber Cove as a place to visit.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
To be honest, we would not allow the room steward to our room due to his breath. He should have his mouth and stomach examined by a doctor. It was gross and could be smelled from a distance. It lingered. Not to say he wasn't a good worker, but it was unbearable. Our room could have been cleaner. There was stains on the counter top and the back of tv was very, very dusty.

Again, our cabin could have been cleaned better.

Ship tip

Make sure to take something for sea sickness! Also, do not go to the islands that have been ravaged by the hurricane's.

The natives were thieves when it came to taxi service. There is a beach RIGHT THERE but they made it so you had to take a cab for $20.00 usd. They had a guard so you couldn't climb a small wall. The cab drive was approximately $35.00 usd for a 10 minute drive, totally $70.00 r/t. I was verbally told in a nasty demeanour to walk by the driver. Those prices aren't even that high in NYC!

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
The natives were very nice. Again, very limited due to the hurricane damages.

Nassau, Bahamas
