Cabin: Mid-Ship Mini-Suite with Balcony

Liked availability out of NYC

my single biggest complaint was lip service from staff 9bar guys on pool deck good in dining they spoke English but really did not understand it well, just a lot of yea yea and then they did not provide help as they really did not understand what was said the staff many are rookies, too bad better help does not cost more when you facture in the many that feel same way and will cruise RC or MSC for same money. Very few shops but that my thing, buffet was like being at a budget low end place. Food was ok just a bit more class would be nice. The next cruise guy from Ottawa needs to stay in Canada I guess he didn't have time for me and said more no's with little explanation. Way to many surprise charges all the 18% service charges and tips and pay for water for geez sakes giving each cabin a couple bottles of water for free for two of us would go a long way and why in ultimate drink package is water extra and scotch is not???? If freestyle means Walmart afloat then its ok but with Walmart most workers really care

Port Reviews

Nassau

we liked ports of call Nassau was to much of a hard sell by local merchants I spent a lot of money with local jewelery stores and would have spent more but it took like an hour to do paper work after each purchase crazy
