Review summary

We needed a break so the 10 day length was perfect. We were so disappointed with the quality of the evening main shows! We are Christian's and did not like the demonic themes in 2 of the shows (we walked out after about 10 minutes). So much darkness in the makeup and clothing and the men were dancing in a way that bothered us. The ABBA musical and the magician Eric Buss were good and clean and enjoyable. Too bad the other shows were subpar. Did not like the cruise director, Floyd.

Don't recommend Crown Grill. Not worth the extra money. Other dining rooms were nice.

Always love the Bahamas. Went on a snorkel excursion which was the best of all the cruise. Reef was gorgeous and water very clear. 5 star!!

Botanical Gardens were amazing. Port did not display a welcoming atmosphere. We don't speak French and it was hard to communicate.

snorkel excursion was awful. Reef they took us to was DEAD! Very few fish and they insisted it be guided but guide didn't help with explaining the reef.

I got nothing. Demonic? How do you feel about dancing and alcohol? 🥴

Oh boy - if you thought a show on a cruise ship was demonic, I bet you'd think I'm Satan himself!
