Review summary

Great overall experience. Staff was top notch. Overall food quality was great although their beef cooking skills could use some attention. Several times we were subjected to raw meat which was unacceptable for consumption.. Once remedied with a properly cooked portion, the meal was delicious. Weather at this time was sunny/partly cloudy with mid 80's temperatures and humidity with a constant sea breeze. We WERE disappointed in the loss of ports of call Key West and the Grand Cayman's. Key West was replaced with Nassau Bahamas but the Grand Cayman stop was not replaced and we received zero compensation for this loss. That did not sit well with anyone we talked to. What we did experience was very enjoyable and I would recommend it....just do your research on the ports of call.

Nassau, Bahamas

The port portion of the city of Nassau was not a great area to walk on your own 10 minutes outside of the immediate port area. We had a 1 day pass to the Margaritaville resort. THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL! Highly recommended!
