This was the first cruise for my wife and I. Overall, it was a great experience! Yes, this was our first cruise and nothing to compare it to, but I would definitely do this again with Bahamas Celebration! We met passengers that were frequent cruisers, and their opinion of the ship was just like ours!

From the start, it was an easy boarding experience. We got there pretty early, and there weren't a lot of people. Word of advice, make sure you finish your drinks and food before boarding! You will not be able to take in into the building with you, it was $15 a day for Valet Parking which is your only choice, so it was $60 for us from the start. Bring cash for that as that's the only form of payment accepted.

We boarded around 12:30 and the first thing we were introduced to was the announcement that there was food being served on the top deck. This was great for us since we had an almost 3 hour long car ride! Food was great, and since it was a buffet, I definitely went up for seconds. We roamed around the ship for awhile, and felt like we had the whole ship to ourselves. I guess people wait last minute to board! We didn't mind, we were able to go everywhere without bumping into anybody. Read more
