Review summary

This was my first cruise so I didn't know what to expect. This was the 4th cruise for the person I traveled with. From the minute we walked in until the minute we left was awesome. Relaxing, lots of activities to goose from, drinks were good, food was ok. I'm not a "foodie" so my opinion on meals won't be a good measure. Lots of options though for sure. We didn't do any specialty restaurants as the main dining and buffet as well as the pizza lunch was enough for the short time on the boat. The crowd was a perfect age mix. Staff was always friendly and everything seemed to be clean. There were never any wait times for food or drinks. Service was extremely prompt. Nassau is what you make of it. Yes, locals were pushy and some ride if you didn't buy from them, but if you don't want to deal with that-stay away from the vendors. Water taxi to Atlantis was enjoyable. Private island was nice as well-we did kayak excursion but due to storm coming in we had to be brought back in by boat. We didn't spend much time on the private island but glad we got to go because it seems that often the seas are too rough for the tenders so they diby even go. I would absolutely do this cruise again. Think it's perfect for a low key relaxing vacation, but can do more if wanted to. Getting on and off the ship was very quick and easy. They have a good system going.
