We've just returned from the 2-night cruise from Palm Beach, FL, to Freeport in The Bahamas on the Bahamas Celebration and we had a GREAT time! I've read reviews of this ship on CC, and I find that many are way off base compared to our experience. First, this was our 25th cruise so I'm not writing this having had no experience on "real" cruise lines. We did our homework prior to embarkation. We only did the cruise, not a timeshare pitch or any shore excursions, so this is a review only of the cruise. We're Florida residents who've been to Freeport before and to Nassau many times, and didn't want to add anything to the actual cruise. Here are the highlights of our experience with responses especially aimed at the negative review by Sheepdog7561:

Cabin - we also had an inside cabin on the same deck as Sheepdog and only a few doors away, and yes it's quite small with a small bathroom. We didn't expect anything different because we knew how big it was when we booked. Our bathroom was clean and the shower was good, although getting a comfortable water temperature was a little challenging but not impossible. His bear did not chew on our toilet. The bed was not exactly comfortable, but I couldn't compare it to prison mattresses like Sheepdog did because I've never been in prison. As for the cabin TV, it wasn't as small as Sheepdog's, it worked, and we did not watch anything on it. We don't cruise to watch TV!

Electrical outlet - there's one outlet in the cabin and indeed it's a 220V outlet with a northern Europe receptacle. Anyone researching this cruise line would know that. I have two different adapters that would work, and I had no problem keeping my electronics charged. Note that the "northern Europe" adapter has the fatter two prongs and the "southern Europe" version has the thinner two, but both worked.
