Review summary

The ship and crew were amazing, HOWEVER we missed ALL of the advertised ports. Instead, they took us to Nassau, which is a waste of time. I would have opted to stay home rather than spend that kind of money to only visit Nassau.

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food was good, but it was basically impossible to get a reservation at a specialty restaurant and they wouldn't let you bring food back to your cabin for some reason.
