First off when we registered our 6 yr old daughter at Adventure Kids, I was informed I finished the registration and after two staff telling me I was all set I passed my daughter over to staff in trusting. My wife and I then checked out the ship and what else it had to offer already noticing it was not as good as past cruise ships we had been on. After about an hour and skipping the ridiculous priced beverages we went to get on an elevator and noticed our daughter running towards us crying and scared to death. A nice gentleman had helped her find us and she had told us that as soon as we left she was told that she needed to go find her parents before they would keep her because we needed to sing her in. Obviously none of this was explained. So they had let my 6 yr old daughter go off on her own to find her parents, for an hour! Needless to say she was very scared and didn't want to go back. I went to Guest Services where they connected me with the Manager of the kids club and she insisted we bring her back and let her apologize for this incident and misunderstanding. We did go and speak to her and the only thing they would do is say how sorry they were that I didn't understand. We finished the conversation kindly but in my stomach I was furious.

Throughout the cruise we felt nickel and dimed for everything. We felt we couldn't fully enjoy this $1200+ cruise fully without having to pay for so much more. We wondered what the 1200 even got us besides a sardine can sized room and free unoriginal food. The dining experience with the serving staff was delightful and distracting among the constant annoyance of our cruise.

Nassau was horrible. A nonsatisfying and continual money pit along with the worst haggles. On a poor tourist beach of Jamongoo?, I think that was the name, we encountered our first set of rival beach staff who faught over customers that eventually led to police being called. Then we took a taxi to Atlantis for $30 and when dropped off, we then learned we couldn't go into Atlantis to look around with out paying for an armband. So we decided to back to the shops after getting another taxi who told us it was only $4 and said that the other taxi was a gypsy and he overcharged us. Official taxis have yellow plates and gypsys have blue plates. While walking around in the shops we found repetitive products for different prices. In one shop we found our second fight over customers and this time it was with us over a shirt. One lady helped us and then another came up and took the shirt from the first lady telling her to leave her customers alone and that it was her sale. Of course at that point we didn't need the shirt and left. Read more
