Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Good not great. The food in the dinning room was very good but not great. The buffet was ok but not great. The food was the same and bland. The hot dog stand only had hot dogs the last day before that they had only sausages?

Everything was great and the activities staffing was the best.

Most were good but not great. the ice show and cast were very good but the other shows were just ok.(stage show was so loud you could not hear them sing most of the show)

Children's Programs

2 out of 5
Was not good but there were not alot of kids (age 9 to 11 ) for our kid to be with. So they did small kids (3 to 5 of age) stuff the did not work for her.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Been so many times that it is old to me. And as always it is very durty and the people are very rude.you can not just shop without every minute someone asking you to by watches, purses, pot ect.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy and off the boat and to my car in 10 minutes max

Thanks for your review. Will be cruising her in Feb. Agree with you with Nassau but we're trying to venture out in hopes to escape the mess you're describing🤪
