Bahamas Celebration 2 night cruise from Palm Beach, FL to Freeport, Bahamas - 1 cabin - 2 people

Let me start by saying I was very apprehensive about this cruise. I've experienced the best cruising has to offer (Mediterranean/Alaska). My expectations were very low for this cruise. I'm very picky! There isn't a lot of information about this cruise available online and there is only one ship. There aren't many reviews from people who have sailed on other cruise lines. Many of the reviews seem to be from inexperienced cruisers that are miffed by the simplest things. Such as the parking and gratuity charges that are standard on every cruise.

You will pay $16 per night for parking which totals $32 at the time of vehicle drop off. However this port has complimentary/mandatory valet service, which is unusual. They valet is speedy. We drop off the car and go thru the customs/cruise check in around 1pm. There is a line at customs which is expected. You can choose to check in the luggage or carry it to your room. There is an area you go through where they take dinner reservations and offer drink packages. I suggest reserving the dinner reservations online, which is what we did. You have the option to do the semi-formal Crystal dining room at 6:15/8:30pm each night. Or the more casual Rio, which has a similar made-to-order dinner menu as Crystal, as well as some buffet items; at a variety of times throughout the evening. There is also the very casual Tratoria Italian buffet available. These options are all complimentary. There are pay for options available which aren't necessary. Read more
