Review summary

Memorable Bahama Breeze was in fact memorable unfortunately due to the weather. If it had not been for the staff, service, accommodations, food/drink, and performers we would have been disappointed. Long story short we applaud the crew and performers. There are charges on my bill AFTER we received our statement that we will be looking into - not sure yet what these extras were.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Flawless and efficient process with friendly staff!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Wide range of choices on the menu, excellent service and attention to detail.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Enjoyable to see the availability, unfortunately the weather prevented us and many others from enjoying the Caribbean dream. The photo studio interactive program had a number of POS stations that were inoperative and others were slow, consequently we chose one too many packages so we needed help to correct this at the service desk before disembarking.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
With the exception of deck 14 DJ performance, all the venues were fantastic. Grease was awesome professional rendition as was the staging.

Children's Programs

We did not have children with us.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our stateroom service by Rio was EXCELLENT and the dining room service was super! The personnel deserve a hug and pat on the back for handling the large crowds that were mostly stuck due to bad weather!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Way-finding at each elevator core REALLY helped us. Perhaps the cabin TV channel can do a short video on the subject to point out how to maneuver through the different decks.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was comfortable, sized just right for the two of us and our attendant helped keep it tidy every day.

Ship tip

Use the App to schedule your time but be ready to improvise when needed. Use the App frequently to keep track of your charges and don't be affraid of going to customer service to inquire on any charges.Relax.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Departure and arrival was super easy!

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Under construction at the time but manageable.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Too cold and breezy to really enjoy the time there.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We were confused with the timing, apparently there was a number, in addition to the section (17) that was printed on the tag, that we never received on the App or on the TV. An attendant saw us wandering towards the disembarkation area and guided us to the exit. Adding a map of the disembarkation route at the port would help.
