Review summary

There was a change of itinary and never stopped at Great Stirrup Cay island. The food was very good but the changes in itinerary caused you to spend everyday by pool instead of beaches in Nassau and great Stirrup Cay. Shows were great. Overall I would have given a higher rating if it weren't for the changes in destinations. Pool area.was overcrowded.

What reason for not stopping at either island?

You implied you never stopped at GSC and Nassau...... is this true? I'm guessing the reason for GSC was weather or sea conditions but why not Nassau? You don't have a cruise profile so was this recently or 3 years ago? and you gave Nassau 2 stars on another review because stores close at 4:30 yet on this review you implied you never went to Nassau and you were stuck by the pool...... if you were looking for beaches then why do you care stores close at 430 but you were by the pool???? and another review for NYC for 1 star? and Port Canaveral review of 2 stars?? - I'm not being critical, I'm actually reading what you reviewed and I'm totally lost....
