We had a great time and was a good mix of relaxation combined with exhilarating excursions. Make sure you research your excursions ahead of time and know what you are getting. Some excursions included lunch and, most importantly, alcoholic beverages! Some didn't. I would definitely go back.

Cabin / Stateroom

Loved the balcony. A little tight for three people but didn't spend much time in the cabin anyway!

Ship tip

Make sure you know about the activities and special occasions ahead of time and pack accordingly. There are two 'elegant' nights and various themed parties...so pack accordngly!

My second time visiting Jamaica. Had a blast at Dunns River Falls. Make sure you wear water shoes as my sandals kept getting rocks in them!

Nassau, Bahamas

Very nice place. Took a relaxing Glass Bottom Boat tour. It was packed with local school children so at first I was a little concerned...but those kids were very well behaved and polite I didn't mind at all!

Not too bad. Just tough to disembark at 7:30 AM with two 18 year-olds that are used to sleeping in!
