The New Year's Eve cruise had been booked for some time when my husband and I booked the 3 day Bahamas last minute to give the ship a "trial run". After the bad experience on the 3 day, I had tried to change our plans but learned that the change would have been too costly. Since we like the islands we were to visit, we decided to suck it up, keep an open mind and set sail.

We arrived to the port at 11am, and saw that people were already boarding. Being DP members, we were able to jump in line and check in. Okay, next up for check in and the computers went down. This has been a constant problem at the terminal, and we were thinking strike one. The computers were booted back up within 10 minutes and we were checked in and on board within a half hour. We have been DP members for 4 years now, and the card my husband received stated "Diamond". Strike 2! Our first stop was at guest services and they told us that they could give him a new card, but couldn't re-key it until their computers were up and running.

Next stop Windjammer - same mediocre food but plentiful. On to the cabin. It was immaculate and all was in place. We had a D1 balcony on deck 10. Small but spacious in storage and we unpacked for the trip.
