Review summary

Just a little 5 day getaway, looking for some beach time. This cruise fit the bill perfectly. So convenient to sail out of the beautiful Port Canaveral. Surprisingly good stage shows in the theater. Lovely beaches with turquoise waters. We had a delightful day with our tour guide "Marco" in Nassau, he showed us all the historical sites, and we still had a little time to wander around Paradise Island. You'll find this excursion in town after walking in from the ship (don't book it through the cruise line).

Surprisingly elegant! Talented dancers and impressive costumes. We loved all the shows. My compliments to this troupe.

Service and Staff

1 out of 5

Service was really lacking. We had to ask every day for ice to keep our wine chilled, even though we told him on the first day and he could clearly see the wine bottle. Bed didn't get made up until after we went to dinner! (And then only because we asked for service).

Browsing the straw market is the only thing to do here, but just soaking up the vibes was relaxing too.

Ask for Marco on your guided tour, he was informative, cordial and fun.

A perfect beach day, and didn't have to look for a parking space!

Thank you so much for the positive reviews! We sail tomorrow on the Victory and have read so much of the negative. This is our delayed honeymoon due my health issues and we really need a short getaway. My husband has cruised many times but this is my first.
