Bahamas Celebration Review

Additional details
Like many reviewers of this particular ship, my wife and I took the cruise as a part of a supposedly free "vacation package". We were given the package by my mother as a christmas gift. I had read the horrible reviews but figured we would give it a shot anyway, so as not to be rude.
Our package claimed to include a free rental car, two 1-night stays at the Ramada Plaza Fort Lauderdale before and after the cruise, free meals, and the 3-night cruise.
So after choosing a date and booking our airline tickets, we waited for the information package to come in. We had booked it in January but it didn't show up until about 2 weeks before we were supposed to leave. Not a big deal. All of the information was there.
Cabin Review
I cannot remember my room number. I was in an oceanview room with a queen size bed on the Port side, all the way aft. It was an ok little room with a writing desk next to the window and a queen size bed placed up against the wall of the bathroom.
The bed itself wasn't very comfortable. It felt like they had fit two small bed sections together to make it. It was like it had a hard seam in the middle. The matress was also pretty stiff throughout.
The television in the room did not work properly. We only got one channel clearly. That was the shipboard information channel. The other channels were a fuzzy, distorted mess which were impossible to watch.
Otherwise, the air conditioning worked great. The bathroom was spacious and stocked with towels. There was a complimentary ice bucket and some overpriced bottles of water for sale in the room. Although we didn't use them.
There was plenty of closet space for my wife and I. And the housekeepers did an a good job keeping our room organized and stocked with fresh towels. They even left an awesome towel animal on our bed when we came back from our day out in Freeport.
I did have one complaint about their work. They did leave some pretty stank bags of garbage in the hallway at one point, outside of a room just down the hall. Luckily, we couldn't smell it unless we opened the door.
