Review summary

Everything about it was great, but a huge disappointment to not go to the island again. Went in April last year, and didn’t make it. February this year and didn’t make it. PS, they didn’t go yesterday either.....

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very efficient. Couldn’t be better!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Love the freestyle dining and food options. Ate more meals in dining rooms this time and really enjoyed getting away from the crowded buffet. Everything was timed perfectly and service was outstanding.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We took part in pool games, trivia, and game shows. Had a great time!

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Poolside band was ok. Seemed like people were enjoying the taped music more.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Outstanding service everywhere we went. Poolside, bars, restaurants....

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Poolside bathrooms could have been a little cleaner. Otherwise, cleanliness was great.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Surprisingly comfortable for two of us to stay in an inside cabin.

Ship tip

Don’t plan this trip with expectations of going to Great Stirrup Cay. It’s bordering on false advertising to say they go to the private island. You can track the GPS and see how rarely they make it to the island. One employee told me that you would pretty much be guaranteed to go if you plan your cruise during June, July, or August....not an ideal time for us to go on a cruise. But everything else about this cruise was wonderful!

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
Started and ended here. Didn’t do anything but stayed at the Marriott Brickell. Very nice place.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

4 out of 5
Great shopping. Didn’t do excursions.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Didn’t like it last year, so didn’t get off the ship this year. Too many locals pressuring you to buy their items. Dirty too.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas Did not visit port

“High seas” Please tell us when this is not the case!!

Disembarkation
