Review summary

Cruise was a good first for me. I was under the impression that it was a smoke free cruise. One of party members got up set by the amount of smoking on board. The Ft Lauderdale Hilton Marina was a rip off and should be avoided. Bad service bad food and they lie!

Embarkation

3 out of 5

they got us through the line but had a IT clinch that held us up a bit

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

I think the main dinning was a bust. Buffet was above average. Staff was pleasant at all our dinning venues. The formal/captains dinner was a disaster no captain and it seem that formal attire is now badly fitting yoga pants and sports bra's

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

pools and activities were as expected. Not sure why you have only one bar tender for the casino.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5

I think the Coco Cay club is worth the added $. It was not over crowed and the service was top notch.

Nassau, Bahamas

With tourism being your major source of income, why not clean the place of trash? Streets were filthy took away from the tour

Smoking is available in certain places on all ships. IMO, it should not be allowed at all. People would still cruise and ships would still be full even with smokers not going. Everyone to their own opinion.
