This was a good, quick long weekend get away. If you are looking for fancy it is not, but it is still great time. I would recommend it for older adults.

Cabin / Stateroom

Our room was great. It was always clean when we came back from a port. Fresh towels every evening when returning. Plenty of storage for 3 people.

Ship tip

This was more of a long weekend party cruise. My son just turned 16 and I would say he was a little bored. I think this would be more of a cruise for couples or older adults. I felt like we had to entertain him a lot because the lack of things for his age.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

3 out of 5

We were at this port a couple years ago. I felt they offered more then. I was not impressed with this island compared to Carnival & Royal Caribbean private island. We took a long weekend cruise with Royal Caribbean last spring break and there private island was full of things to do. We did not want to leave, NCL was a little boring.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5

We have been to Nassau many times. We usually do an excursion. This year they offer Resort for day passes. This was great and the resort was wonderful. They had a beach, pool, non-motorized water toys and gave us a credit for food & drink. We could come and go as we wanted. So we went shopping and then returned to the resort for lunch. Headed to the pool and beach and then back to the boat. It was great, I would highly recommend doing this and it is much cheaper then a lot of the excursions they offer.

Relaxing

This was an excellent value! The staff was attentive, the accommodations clean and comfortable, and the experience beyond my expectations. I would do this again!

Just OK
