My wife and I finally decided to take a cruise. We’ve been thinking about it for a while, but just never did it. I think we may be hooked now. We chose the MSC Divina based on a combination of the affordability, the port stops and a recommendation from the Expedia travel agent. Since this was our first cruise, we didn't know what to expect and didn’t want to spend too much in the unlikely event that we didn’t enjoy it, but the forums here at Cruise Critic were very helpful. As you read this review, keep in mind that we have nothing to compare the cruise to, so everything is being rated based on our expectations.
The Good Stuff:
The Ship
I was expecting Nassau to be cleaner. It was fairly run down and Cabbage beach was crowded. I think I see why it might be better to book a beach break at a private resort.
