Review summary

This was a great trip. The only negative thing that I can say happened before we boarded the ship. First of all, let me tell you that I am in the hospitality business. I understand people make a living off of making tips. I don't like people telling me to tip them without having done anything for me to start with. As we exited the airport to port transfer, we were met by a man who started to take our bags to be placed on the ship. He said you can tip me now which put a bad taste in my mouth so I responded that my tips were already included in the price of my trip. He immediately dropped my bag and told someone else to help me. If he would have done what he is paid to do to start with without telling me to tip him, I would have.

This was my second cruise and the boarding could not have been any faster and efficient.

The food was great! My husband said he wished that they would have had shrimp in the main dining rooms or buffets.

The pools were nice and clean.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The musicians were great! There was a variety of music, something for everyone. We played bingo and deal or no deal, it was fun.

Children's Programs

We were a couple.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

We noticed on the wall several pictures of the ships staff. My husband, being from Nicaragua noticed that the Executive Housekeeper was also from Nicaragua. We asked if we could speak to him and one of the staff members called him. She told us that he was busy and would be in touch with us. We gave her our cabin number but thought that would be the end of that. To our surprise, he showed up to our room. That small but significant gesture made my husbands day.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5

We did the tour around town and the submarine ride. Unfortunately, it was not worth the money. The tour was a total disappointment and the submarine ride would be great for children.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5

We rode the wave runners here for the first time, it was an adventure. It would have been better if they had transportation to the water, it was about a 10 minute walk in the sand.
