Nice, but not all I thought it would be.

Review summary

This was a nice weekend getaway, but for the extra cost I don't feel you really get "all 5 packages" included. You are really paying extra.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth...got on asap.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was good. Ate Cagneys, main dining room and buffet. All was good. Cagney's restaurant had so much vibration that by the time my steak arrived my stomach was upset. I could only eat a few bites, but it was very good. Other customers were complaining too. Disappointed that the specialty coffee was not included in the premium drink package. Had to pay extra for our daily cappuccinos. Also, this is the first cruise in several years that did not have any craft beer.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pool, golf, entertainment, casino.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Pool band was ok, not the best but the drinks helped. Shows and comedian were great.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Servers and cabin steward were great. A little disappointed in the customer service we got when out tour was canceled.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Older ship but well kept. You can tell they did some upgrades to common areas.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Main area and balcony was nice. The bathroom had a sewer smell even after it was cleaned again. The hair dryer looked like it came out of the 70s. Took a long time to dry hair and the hose got too hot...burned my skin. It didn't leave marks but hurt to the touch.

Ports of call

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5
Tour was canceled. We rented a scooter and did our own.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Been here many times. We went to the Pirate Republic Brewery so we could drink some craft beer. Then ate at Bearded Clam...awesome food!

Disembarkation

Quick and easy

We were on this same cruise, but on Deck 10. We also had a foul odor coming from our toilet the entire time. It was a strong smell of urine that would not go away even after cleaning. There must have been a plumbing issue on the ship.
