1st Family member got sick the night before, not able to make the trip, awaiting to see if insurance I took out will cover it. 2nd My room was over the theatre so I had to be subjected to rehearsals during the afternoon and 2 shows in the evening, breaking my sleep from a nap in the afternoon, in my sleep in the evening. 3rd A bag of duty clothes was left under my bed I’m assuming from a prior guess, so how well did housekeeping do their job along with the room be dusty. 4th I was locked on the balcony because the inside handle slipped down in locked me out of the room, I had to scream at the top of my voice in wave my hands to get people’s attention that was walking from the ships in the Bahamas for help until someone heard me on the 10 deck and got housekeeping to unlock the balcony door, mind you the door locks from the inside. 5th I didn't see anything that really caught my attention concerning the food, I just about ate chicken wings, fries, hamburgers and pizza just about every day. 6th I went to take a shower before I departed off the ship in the hot water was cold. 7th Getting off the ship had to be the worst the line went from mid-ship to the back of the ship to go around in a circle to end up back mid-ship to depart. I've never been so HAPPY to get off.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin BX

Don't recommended this room if your a plus size person, bathroom small, room over Stardust theatre if you're early bird & take naps the rehearsals and shows will keep you up especially if you want a relaxing cruise, room very dusty if you have allergies. Got locked out on the balcony, indoor latch slipped to lock position. and the carpet on deck 8 has a smell as you walk through the corridor.

Port Reviews

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

Didn't go far no where to go, unless you had to take a cab to get to it.

Great Stirrup Cay

Stay on the beach where there was a lot of moment from 1 large family group of people moving all the chairs leaving no path to walk through

Nassau

5 time in Nassau nothing moved me also very crowded, 3 other ships was also there too.
