Cabin: Interior Stateroom with Virtual Balcony

Ship was too large and could not accomadate its 5,000 guests. lines for absolutely everything. dining was awful. Felt as if I was eating at the golden corral each night in the dining room. Food had not taste...was all salt...dried up...horrible. But the service was so excellent by the waiters...how could we complain? The buffet was OK. Ran out of coffee and cream at 7am. Really? Tables in buffet dirty constantly. Not enough help to clean them. Sat looking at dirty tables. No place to sit ever unless it was off hours.

Alcohol was so expensive. Could of easily took liquor on board they did not check anything. Made us afraid to try...so we paid the premium prices. $11 for rum and coke $15 for Brandy $ 15 for pina colada at cococay. Outragous. Could not find chairs at pool. All taken by the people getting up at 6am and leaving towels all over and never returing. So not fair. Pools were sooo crowded with screaming kids. Awful. Adult pool nice but super small. Same people stayed in hottub hour after hour. The spa was fantastic. Got a sweedish massage with ROSE. It was worth every penny. Shows were great. Staff was great. Ship is gorgeous. 270 is the best room on board with great seating for relaxing and reading. The music hall was so fun with the bon jovi cover band who were so good. We saw them 3 times. Lots of great seating all over...nice tucked away spots. Never got on any of the attractions. Unless you have reservations forget it.

Tour bus left us in coco beach. Never came to get us. Told us 7pm was last shuttle. Had to call RC emergency number to reach the ship. They were very nice and refunded our money. Village was very nice lots of pretty shops. nassu was dirty and the public beaches scary and awful. A fight broke out right next to my beach chair with two natives screaming that their gangs were coming to kill. Not what you want to hear on vacation. Nassu was very dirty. Atlantis gorgous but you have to pay to see property. Can only walk in lobby and casino. The beach in paradise island very dangerous waves and undertow. Go to cable beach for that pristine and calm water. sick people all over boat. Take travel insurance. My visit to the ship Dr was $189. I do not recommend a ship this big unless you LOVE PEOPLE. You will be surrounded.

Port Reviews

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

Village shops beautiful. Fun. Lunch at a great thai restaurant.

Shuttle never picked us up to go back to ship. Had to call the emergency number and they called ship. Ship was very nice and gave us a refund. Not happy standing in rain for an hour and a half.

Nassau

Dirty. Trash all over island. Natives fighting on beach right by our chairs saying they would kill each other. Very scary. Not a good impression of this island. Water very rough and undertow. NOT A GOOD EXPERIANCE
