Review summary

One excursion taken to island, electricity was out so no shops were open. Could only get something to drink in a can, very little food available. We feel that excursion should have been cancelled. Coca Cay (private island)....shops were neat, but the beach/water was covered in rocks. If not floating on mat (that you paid for).....couldn't walk. Very disappointing. Food at the cookout was great, picked up before we were through eating. Glass bottom boat ride was great!

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Went to what we thought would be a professional show and it was a "dance class recital"....very disappointed. Shows put on by the boat's dance and singing team was great!!!!

Would recommend to first time cruisers who don't want to be overwhelmed. Layout-clubs were hard to find (especially where bingo was).

Cabin / Stateroom

Loved the animals. Attendant always asked us how we were doing, did we need anything. Always seemed to care!!!
