Cabin / Stateroom

Interior cabin since we were only in there to shower and sleep. Small but well laid out. Steward was great and room was always clean. Loved the towel animals our steward left each night.

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

We visited Atlantis (5th time) and loved every minute. Easy to get cab to/from port.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5

Despite morning rain, we had a wonderful time at Coco Cay. We went to the beach, lagoon, and kid's area. Food was plentiful and good as well. Drinks at Captain Jack's were great.

Overall great experience our waiters Domingos and Putu were excellent in the main dining room. We took a short 4 day Nassau and Perfect Day at Coco Cay cruise after visiting Disney. We had a great time! Our cabin was spacious and well kept.

GREAT Cruise -- Highly Recommend
