Traveled with children

This was our first family cruise, beside my husband and me, we brought along children ages 6 to 18, plus grandparent. We had two rooms ocean view and inside, each room had 4 people in them. I never felt crowded plenty room to move around. I had the ocean view room which the natural light was nice, but I really didn't see anything out of it and next time will just save the money since the inside was just as good. The staff was amazing, the rooms was always clean and they were very helpful. My mother in law got hurt on the trip to the port and they got us a wheel chair, so she could still get around for a small fee. Our youngest got sick in the middle of the night, the staff quickly came in change the sheets, clean up before I even got out of the bathroom from cleaning him up. The food was amazing, we loved the buffets and it was a treat to do to the main dining area, the waiters really get to know your preferences to give you that extra special treatment. Our daughter celebrated her 16th birthday while on the cruise we order a cake and the leftover they brought back out the next day. We ported in Bahamas, Nausea and Freeport. Nausea we walk to the beach and spent a wonderful day there with beautiful clear waters, plus visited the stores with lots of local treasure straw hats and bags, the sellers are a little pushy. Freeport we only went to the market stand right off the ship, didn't have a lot of time and being first time cruiser was afraid to go to far. The children program, I was afraid to leave my little one but they give us a phone to keep contact with us and that was so handy and eased my mind. The entertainment we loved every hour something was going on, when you go on a cruise everything done for you food, cleaning and activities you just go and have fun.

Cabin Review

Ocean View

Very clean, room to move around with four people. Plenty of drawers and closet space. Nice to have a safe to keep valuables.

Port Reviews

Nassau

The beach was within walking distance, very clean and easy to get too. The local shops had lots of local treasures such as handmade straw items, but the seller are very pushy and very hot inside. Easy to get in and out of customs. Overall was a wonderful experience.

Freeport

not a lot around unless you take a taxi to another area, we wanted to stay within walking distance and only thing was an outdoor market. Which had some great deals of local made items.
