Review summary

Great vacation. My kids are unvaccinated so it made it a little more difficult. Kids had to be tested twice before boarding ship and once more to disembark. We were charged $150 per child for the Covid test. Also they were not allowed to attend any children's programs or get off the ship without purchasing an excursion. The ship feels a little small and outdated but in perfect and clean condition. Shows were good and the food and service was amazing! Would definitely go again.

The pool is very small and unusual in the shade. The water in late March was a bit chilly. Ropes course and games were nice.

Shopping right off the ship. Nassau has many markets and designer stores available.

You have the option to walk to your car or take a bus. We decided to walk which was probably about a mile.
