We booked this with another couple and were looking forward to this trip. We were going to the Bahamas with three stops - Grand Bahama, Nassau, and Great Stirrup Cay.

Unfortunately, we only went to the first two stops. They said the water was too rough to go to the last stop. We were looking forward the Great Stirrup for two reasons - 1. You take the smaller boat to the land which would've been fun and 2 - they brag about this being their own private island and as an all inclusive cruise - our meals and beverages would be included. Luckily, we had excursions only at the first two stops and planned to spend a day at the beach at Great Stirrup because all those people missed any excursions at Great Stirrup. Luckily, I did my shore shopping at Nassau or I would not have any souvenirs. Lots of other travelers said this happens all the time. I looked into it online - they rarely actually get to the island. We did not receive any reimbursement for only visiting 2 shores instead of 3. We just hung out on the water for the day - it ended up becoming a booze cruise.

The ship itself was nice - a bit dated. We had a balcony room and that is so important - the rooms are really small and the balcony helps to make it feel bigger and let fresh air in the room. The rooms without a balcony often had the hall room door stuck open - I would think it gets a bit stuffy and stinky in there with no air flow. Read more
