We booked this ship for a Bahamas cruise but we ended up going to Bimini instead of Grand Bahama Island because who knows why. Pretty frustrating as we had to take ferris there and back and wait for 2.5 hours each way. we spent a total of 4 hours of our day on the island and 5 hours waiting in line.
Alcohol was too expensive and drinks were extremely strong and didn't taste good. It's easy to bring alcohol bought on the island back with you in a backpack, they didn't check bags.
Overall it was a very upsetting experience and I’ve never been treated so poorly by staff. The entire cruise felt like a sales pitch. Staff walked around and tried to sell everything from bottled water, to sunglasses. Not to mention the hidden fees like $12.00 per day, per person for housekeeping and additional port fees after we already prepaid all the port fees. Parts of the ship were blocked off because they were welding and painting while we were on the ship. The smoke from the welding was awful and the loud noises, very annoying and unnecessary.
The Cabin was nice. sheets were itchy and bathroom looked like an airplane bathroom.
we got a golf cart(the only way to get around the island) and drove the 7 miles to the downtown area, then from there found a nice beach with pina coladas.
