Review summary

The captain skirted Huricaine Matthew and the weather was great! Ports of call were beautiful. Food was good too. We mostly ate at the Windjammer buffet. Free shows especially the ice show were wonderful. All crew were professional and helpful. The captain gave us daily weather updates on the in room TV. Would recommend the luggage valet service for only $25 per bag. You sit your bags out the night before you depart and you don't see them again until you pick them up at your destination airport.

Small but comfortable and laid out very efficiently. Didn't mind not having any windows since we were hardly in the room. You should bring a nightlight however since it's totally dark when the lights are off.

Ship tip

Book the free shows well in advance because they fill up quickly.

We had been to Nassau before so we stayed on ship and had an uncrowded day at the pool.

Try "Secret Harbor" beach. Nice, clean and safe and no locals trying to sell you stuff. Food, bar and restrooms on site. Part of Secret Harbor resort.

Took the water taxi to the public beach. Rented an umbrella, two chairs for $10. Beer cheap at $2 a bottle.
