Sail Date: Jun 2007
Traveled with children

This was our first cruise. I was traveling with my husband and 14 year old daughter. Embarkation was super fast, there was very little waiting. We were allowed into our rooms at 1:30 and to all our surprise the room was very nice. They were not small as I was told my many people, the bathroom were also just fine. The room however was always cold, even on the lowest setting.

Freeport: A little crazy getting off the ship. I handed my sail and sign card to the guy to swipe and was fastly shoved on to taking a photo with a pirate while my family was far behind me still swiping their card. We had chose the Bahamas Jeep adventure for our shore excursion. Our tour guide, Sam was very nice. He had also lived in our home town of Dallas, TX. We were provided with plenty of water and we able to pick out the jeep we wanted to ride it. It was an amazing drive. However, our only problem was when we stopped at the beach resort for lunch and a swim in the ocean. The excursion had provided only seafood which my husband can not eat so we chose to eat at the resort. We were only given an hour and 45 mins before having to head back to the jeep. Unfortunately it took the whole time to get our food and when they bought mine they gave me fish instead of chicken. Nassau: This time my husband held all 3 sign and sail cards so we got off the ship together. Our shore excursion was Discover Atlantis & Historical Harbor Cruise. It was a very nice ferry ride over to Paradise Island. You do a lot of walking on this tour and are expected to find your own way back to the ferry. To upgrade your package to have access to the beach and waterparks it is $73 per person which we did not do. When we got back to Nassau we walked around the city there is so much more to do here than Freeport. We bought my daughter a Chanel purse and wallet for $100 and made our way to the Pirate museum.

We had dinner in the dining room one night and it was very nice, great food. We mainly ate out on the Lido deck.
