Review summary

While the crew and staff were particularly friendly and accommodating, we found the menu choices at the Luminae restaurant disappointing. The sirloin steak seemed over tenderized and the short ribs were very fatty unlike the short ribs we had in the Blu restaurant which were awesome.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

Enjoyed Grand Cayman. Visited a distillery for taste testing and bought a bottle of Dark Rum

Bimini, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Really enjoyed the beach and pool at the resort. Was a bit disappointed at the lunch which consisted of way too much food most of which was wasted. They gave you a large tray of prepared items (e.g., corn on the cob, macaroni salad, Cole slaw, beef rib, fish, fruit salad, Caesar salad, etc. etc.) plus a large hamburger. Most of our group was only able to eat 25-30% of the food and the rest had to be thrown away. They should have allowed everyone to select the items they wanted.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very efficient. Was able to disembark quickly picking up our luggage and then passing through customs in seconds.
