We were looking for a shorter cruise on a smaller ship and this ship and itinerary fit the bill.
We were not thrilled about the ports, but we just wanted a quick get away. Overall, the cruise was very good. Yes, the exterior of the ship is looking old, but the inside looked great. Nothing about the condition of the ship detracted from our experience. The highlight was the excellent food served in the Windjammer and My Fair Lady restaurant. We also were well served by Anthony and Malvino nightly at our table.
We arrived at the port around noon and it only took about 15 minutes to get processed to board the ship. The lines were not long. The terminal was clean and well organized. After eating a nice salad at the Windjammer we headed to our room - 3577. It was rather dated and a few things worn or loose, but as mentioned above this did not detract from our positive experience. This interior room was about the smallest I have been in on 7 cruises. The shower was small for even me and I am 135 lbs at 5'7". Marvin kept our room very clean.
Somewhat tired and small room. Several items in disrepair. Small shower. Served our purpose well in spite of this.
Rather dirty and not very interesting unless you like to shop. Go to Paradise Island & Cabbage Beach - worth it.
Interesting port. Lots of famous stuff to see. Try to get to Zachary Taylor State Park. Nice water and somewhat rough beach.
