Review summary

This was our very first cruise. We would recommend it. There was no point in writing here however the review can not be submitted without at least 150 characters in this review section. No point in cutting and pasting all the info from below. Sorry, We didn't plan on writing a short essay (150+ words) on our thoughts about this cruise. That should do it. See comments below.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Breakfast excellent at Windjammer Cafe. Evening meals in main dining room are excellent. One formal night but the other three were casual. No need to bring a suit and tie. Just bring something nice you would wear to church. Lunch at Windjammer Cafe is okay. Wish we tried the dining room for lunch.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Plenty of activities but participation for some required $. Some activities have 70's theme. basketball court, one shuffleboard court, two ping pongs table and a beanbag tossing game. Workout room etc. A copy of the next day's activities, schedule, etc ("Cruise Compass") was place on the bed every evening while we were dining.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Musicals based on 70's music. Comedian acts. Live music at various venues throughout the cruise. Movies for kids and adults shown on pool deck plus more. See comments about on-board activities.

Children's Programs

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Great staff especially in the Moonlight Dining Room.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very good for a ship that is 25 or so years old.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cozy (120 square feet) but comfortable. Beds are very comfortable. About 25 or so cable channels (half in Spanish). (CNN, TBS, TCM, TNT, sports, ship channels, etc). Shower is about the size of a phone booth. Decent storage space for clothes and suit cases (place smaller suitcases inside larger suitcases for storage)

Ship tip

Leave for Coco Cay early if possible. The wait for the boat ride to the island gets longer after 9am. Got a great tip from a review. When in Nassau take only $1's and $5's. I guess some merchants are reluctant to make change. Look for best price on the web when booking excursions.
