Review summary

This was a party cruise for myself and friends. Had a great time. Weather was perfect. Food was good all around. Don't like the fact that there is no where out of the wind to enjoy a good cigar anymore.

Black And Red Seas Lounge

4 out of 5

Has been renovated to something else. Used to be a great place to smoke cigars and enjoy scotch tastings.

Alchemy Bar

Waste of space that could be used for a cigar lounge.

Pointless. Waste of space that could be used for a cigar lounge.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

I'm very active in my day to day life and seeing live music is an every weekend occurence for me. Cruise ships don't show me anything I haven't seen before. But that's me. If you don't normally get to do it you may have a great time. Comics were horrible.

Indian Library

1 out of 5

Libraries on cruise ships are pointless. Waste of space that could be used for a cigar lounge.

Children's Programs

I hate kids

Skip the excursions. Get a cab to cabbage beach. Grab an unlimited coconut drink and an umbrella chair. $40 for a day of relaxation. Hit town on your way back to ship.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

My absolute favorite port. Lazy days in a hammock. Had a villa for the group on this trip. Tons of fun.

Grand Turk Island

Tourist trap port. Excursions are pretty boring unless you dive/snorkel.

Totally agree with you cigar smokers are getting screwed over lately,we deserve an indoor lounge like the Churchill that is going out of style because people complain so much. Believe it or not but smokers do actually still have rights to.
