First cruise in 25 years for anniversary. This ship didn't disappoint at all. We were concerned about the "obstructed view"' however 8508 only has a small pole in sight. Very minor obstruction. Food and shows were above average and wait was very short. We had a blast on Coco Cay on the Jet Ski tour and were shocked at the value we got on the $35 snorkel trip in Nassau. Great value here. Nice boat ride and ample time in the water. Crew gave mini tour pointing out homes of famous people on way back. Bring cash for drinks/tip. Beer was $4 and $3 rum specialty drink. Only con for trip was getting off ship. We decided to carry bags off and were surprised by the line and confusion leaving. I would consider having bags dropped off at dock next time. Spent about 40 minutes dragging bags around when we departed.
