All was good, but this being my first cruise I don’t have anything to compare it to.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was fine. Plenty of closet and drawer space to put your clothes and other things. The bed was comfortable. It was clean.

Ship tip

It’s a good size and manageable to get around.

Ports of call

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

4 out of 5
No excursion, but wish I would have booked a beach excursion

Bimini, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We rented a golf cart and drove around the island. We ended up at Radio beach. It was beautiful! They should try to clean up the island alittle more

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
It was a cool and cloudy day so we didn’t go swimming, but the beach was nice and the island had a lot to do

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
We went to blue lagoon. It was very nice. A bit too commercialized for me, but a nice island. Some of the beaches were closed due to high winds and waves.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
It was quick and easy.

Thanks for the feedback. The Bahamas has pretty much run down over the years. Glad you liked it.
