Review summary

This ship is old and worn. We arrived at our stateroom which was on Deck 11 balcony. It smelled of stale smoke and was very worn and dirty. They did change the bed spread for us. The food was way too salty and of poor quality. The Maitre D in Windows resturant was a jerk to say the least. After a crumby day at the so called private island we went to grab a bite to eat at Windows. After we were seated the Maitre D demanded my husband removed his hat, stating it was a safety issue, while several other men had on hats and were not told to remove them. There was not much to do on board at all, very boring cruise. The best part was Florida and the Daytona International Speedway. the seas were extremely rough. 30 ft seas! sick passangers and crew for the first few days. The staff in the buffet were crude and not friendly at all. We spent over $4000.00 on this cruise and could not wait to get off the ship. How sad for us!!! We have cruised several times previous and will from now on stay on dry land. We felt is was hustle and bustle and very disoraganized. It was not a vacation at all and I am so disappointed we spent all that money on a lousy trip.

Ports of call

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

1 out of 5
This is an absolute waste of time. rough ride in ferry over, the island is small and when you put 1500 people and staff on it is was like Gilligan's Island. People falling all over one another to get a beach chair, most people standing becuase there were not enough chairs. Screaming kids! Ya my idea of a vacation. The ship gets there at 7:30 at night and leaves at noon the next day, what is the point. The ship in my opinion should not go to this island at all. BIG WASTE OF TIME

Nassau is beautiful however in a rush to get to the stupid boring private island we only had a few hours here and we were very disappointed we had to leave for the island.
