This was my first time going on a cruise. My girlfriend had gone on one Cruise before this one, it was not a "FREESTYLE" cruise though. We both had the time of our lives. What brought us on the cruise was we were celebrating her 40th Birthday. What a celebration! Relaxing in the sun, by the pool during the day, was exactly what the Doctor ordered. Getting off the ship was neat too. Freeport Bahamas was a waste of time though and we wished we hadn't of done that. That should not be in the itinerary! However we really enjoyed Nassau. For two girls travelling alone, we were a little stressed walking through all of the Bohemian Men Taxi Drivers, but we managed just fine. The shopping was great! The evenings were so nice, we had a balcony room with two single beds. It suited us perfectly! Our stewards went out of their way to make our trip as enjoyable as possible. Before we arrived I had the room decorated with streamers and balloons for my girlfriends B-Day with a cake too. I truly think because of that they were that much more fun to them. They were really good at their job. We got alot of use out of our balcony, chatting until the sun came up and covering every topic you could imagine. We even saw Dolphins jumping in the wee morning. That was amazing! Two nights we chose to get gussied up and enjoy the Dining room. The food was very good which impressed me,I did expect it to be alot worse because I read alot of reviews. The service was very accommodating and friendly. We brought our own wine for our four dinners, paying the corkage fee. Which was 15$ per bottle. Which we felt was worth every penny. The fun... We had a blast meeting so many different people. We truly thought that the cruise would be filled with blue hairs (seniors), but it wasn't. There was a variety of different age groups. Families, couples and singles. People that just wanted to have a good time. The Disco was great and the music just made you want to get up there and boogie without a care! We boogied our buts off! We learned some new moves and can't wait to teach them to our families. The toga party was not much fun though and don't recommend it. The White Hot Party was so much energetic. We danced and danced and danced...The energy was unforgettable, every one was up there letting themselves go and having the time of their lives...

So, take my advice... If you get the chance to take a cruise, do so! Even if you only have the opportunity to do it once in your life time. You gotta see what it is all about it was absolutely memorable.
