this cruise was chosen by someone else as a mother daughter cruise and it was fine for the party purposes and getting a group of people together.
Getting on and off the ship was fine. OUr cabin was old and worn but a great size and balcony was roomy as well.
ship seems loud on pool deck , you could find a quiet area but not near the pool. bands were loud and located in the center areas which I didn't like either. just wasn't a good fit for me but if you want noise and partying then it would be great.
the room was large and comfortable. needs remodeled but that is just cosmetic. the sliding glass door had a crack in it but worked fine
we didn't take an excursion because they were cancelled. We had booked the turtle excursion and it was canceled due to lack on interest.
Then we booked the Rainbow Reef excursion and it was cancelled due to mechanical issues.
So we just walked to the beach and it was OK beach. small beach area, long walk.
Ate at Smugglers. lunch was OK service slow of course and very overpriced. straw market also just OK and to be expected with people wanting you to buy their stuff.
I'd say book and excursion but that's what we tried and failed to achieve. Twice.
