Review summary

This cruise was a great escape from Miami for a few days. I went with friends and we just wanted to get out of the city for the weekend, and this cruise was perfect. Nassau is Nassau - the port looks much better today than it was ten years ago. It's beautiful but hot and not much to do on the island. You're far better off doing a snorkeling or jet skiing trip if you want to get off the ship. Great Stirrup Cay was awesome as always - beautiful water and solid service. The ship is a nice experience, but its age is really beginning to show. Bathrooms with curtains are becoming uncommon on new ships as is the general floorplan of this ship. The staff were excellent as always. Our favorite experience onboard was dinner at Cagney's Steakhouse.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship is nice but it is clearly an older ship. Smaller elevators and situations where you need to walk through restaurants in order to get places are reminders that this ship was built almost 30 years ago.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The cabin is nice but a little dated. I would've expected an enclosed shower in a ship that was refit only 5 years ago.

Ship tip

Get a reservation at Cagney's, its the best dining experience on board.

We were the last passengers off the ship because guest services took well over an hour to remove an erroneous charge from our friends' room.
