Review summary

In a nutshell... Decent cruise. We had a blast but that’s because of who we were with, not so much because of the cruise itself. The food was nothing to write home about. Freeport is dirty.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

We visited the buffers and main dining rooms throughout our trip (no specialty ones). The buffet food was pretty bad, even the cooked-to-order omelettes. The staff was very chatty amongst themselves and paid little attention to those in the buffet line or to the food they were cooking especially for someone (which was then served burnt). The main dining room staff was wonderful. They were very attentive and helpful. The soups were amazing! The other food we tried was just ok to good, nothing to write home about.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

It was a little too chilly for us to use the pool but it was a nice pool area. The comedian was hilarious!! There weren’t enough interesting activities.

Cabin / Stateroom

All was to be expected. Our room was neatly made up each day.

Ship tip

Avoid the buffet unless you just want a quick bite. The fish swim forward in the carpet.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

1 out of 5

This is the 2nd time I’ve cruised to this port. My opinion was the same for both. It’s run down and dirty with not much to see. We would’ve preferred to skip this point and spend an extra day in Nassau.
