Review summary
We were on a four day cruise and the entire time it was cold, rainy and very windy. We barely were able to sit at the pool. In Nassau the sand on the beach was blowing so hard that we had to leave after about one hour. Also, we were supposed to go to the private island, which was canceled because of the weather. We ended up docked at the port in Nassau until the following afternoon. The only day we were able to sit outside comfortably was on our way back to port...that is until the wind started blowing hard again. It was my daughters first cruise and she was mostly looking forward to going to the beach.
The cruise ship was nice and we enjoyed several of the activities, especially the Ice Bar. We understand that the cruise line can't do anything about the weather, but it was very disappointing.
