Review summary

If this were my first cruise, I would never cruise again. Overbooked ship, too many people, security guards wandering the boat with drug sniffing dogs, fights, arguments, etc. Very disappointed that kept a portion of my refund when my child couldn’t join me on this trip. Next time, I would book directly with the cruise. They would have refunded me the portion that kept.

Okay good. Long lines. Had to skip breakfast because the line for the buffet was too long and the restaurants had an hour long wait.

Onboard Activities

Pools were crowded. The fitness activities were minimal and only in the early morning.

Entertainment

So average. One good singer. The rest was subpar.

I went to what the locals said was a nice beach. Trash in the water and broken bottles.

Beautiful. I will return.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)
