This was close to home so a short drive to Norfolk was worth it. Parking was easy and ride to the ship was fine. Easy embark, nice weather and music to travel out of port. Balcony cabin was very nice and room steward was outstanding. Booze was pushed hard and more expensive than I expected.
First fun day at sea was nice. Long lines for all of the buffet and other food venues. Food was ok but not as good as I had expected from others who had been out.
First stop at Nassau took a while to get clearance to get off the boat. The rumor was some poor passenger had passed away. Shore travel was late but they waited for us. Went to the Gardens the first day, pink flamingos are cool! Went to Atlantis the second day. It was nice but just like a Las Vegas casino, flashy and wanted your money.
