For a first time cruise, I think this ship was a little small. I did feel quite ill the first day, but it did get better over the following 2 days. I might be wrong to assume that I would feel less movement on a bigger ship. Service staff was great. Food was delicious (we were perpetually full). Ship seemed clean, although a little older. Staterooms are quite small so pack light. Entertainment was great. Drink packages are a must! Although we did end up having issues trying to book them online which caused us grief while on the ship. We were disappointed with guest relations customer service, but ultimately our issues did get resolved. Off shore excursions through the ship are expensive but worth it if you are looking for a guaranteed experience. Our excursion in Nassau was cancelled last minute, unfortunately, but was refunded to our account immediately. We asked the excursion guides for an alternative and one was given. Some of our companions asked a cab driver to do a tour of Nassua and they said it was great, safe and reasonably priced. Coco Cay was spectacular. At the very least rent an umbrella. Drink lots of water and reapply lotion often. Food here was so good. Generally, this 3 day cruise was a good first taste at cruising. Just have a gravol that first day!
