My mother in law chose this cruise as part of her "bucket list". She wanted her children & spouses, grandchildren, & great-grandchildren to go on a cruise together at least one time. She made all the arrangements. There were 17 of us that went. We docked at Nassau on third day at sea and were able to explore the island. We were suppose to leave later that day to a private island, but the captain said the weather was not safe to go there. So needless to say, we stayed docked at Nassau until the following day. For those who haven't been to Nassau, don't bother getting off the ship. Yes, the water is beautiful, but the people there haggle you to no end. They put jewelry on you as you try to walk, even though you didn't ask for it, then expect you to pay for it. My family and I didn't feel safe at all. There were men standing between buildings with their arms crossed over their chest, staring us down. At one point they were several of them arguing on who was going to get our attention first. It was very unsettling and scary. I wouldn't recommend venturing out unless your on an excursion with a group of people. I will never get off another ship if it's docked in Nassau! We just felt lucky that we made it to the ship alive! We were not compensated in any way for not being able to go to the private island. We basically went to Nassau and that was it! What a terrible first impression! It was a HUGE disappointment!! The least they could of done was have drinks half off, or even better, they could have given a discount for a future cruise. But no, they offered nothing! I felt like we payed to see the private island, but got ripped off. I understand that the weather can't be helped, but for goodness sake, reimburse a portion of the fee that was paid to them, or give some kind of incentive/compensation.

People that were in the shuttle leaving the port were also talking about how terrible the cruise was for them. This was a ship built for partying and gambling. The positive things that I can say about this ship is that they had a great selection of food, the dining room on floor 15 was fabulous, and the staff was friendly. Also, the show Burning the Floor and the comedy show were fantastic! The guy who cleaned our cabin was always pleasant with a smile on his face and never failed to have our room cleaned everyday (thank you Biency). We did stay at the Radisson hotel in Port Canaveral before and after our cruise. We were very pleased with our room there and would highly recommend staying there. I think we will try a different cruise line next time!
