Sail Date: Aug 2018

The boat was old. Crew spoke terrible English. We were charge $36 for fuel. Only decent dinner was $78 additional which included gratuity. Yet we were charged $56 for “gratuity and housekeeping.”The nightly buffet was the only “included food and drink” and it was equivalent to a school cafeteria without milk boxes. We sailed to Freeport, Bahamas into a shipping yard, 12 miles away from any accessible beach, and we’re forced to buy an excursion or sit on the boat by ourselves all day. We paid $105 just to ride on a bus to the beach. A 200ft long beach at that. The beach was the most pleasant part of the trip. Back on the boat, anything with entertainment value was additional. All of the shows that are free on other ships were $9 a person. My girlfriend got seasick and noone knew what crackers were. I had to argue with a bartender just to get her some sprite. My “seaside kingsize cabin” I paid $70 to upgrade to consisted of a dirty window and 2 old uncomfortable twin mattresses pushed together with no fitted sheet. Spent $250 unexpectedly after boarding on fees and regular activity that are included without extra charge on Carnival and Royal Caribbean cruises IN 2 DAYS. For $300 more I could have booked my girlfriend and I a 7 day Eastern Carribean cruise with another company. Not to mention these other companies have newer boats, and sail to accessible beaches and ports . I will never sail with this company again.

Cabin Review

Cabin Seaside cabin

Outdated. Terrible mattress quality. Old mattresses. 2 twins pushed together is not a king sized bed. Felt disrespected when I discovered that. Our window was filthy and the bed didn’t even have a fitted sheet. So the sheets kept coming off.

Port Reviews

Freeport

Expensive. Not in our knowledge that the port was 12 miles from the beach. The beach and gazebo bar were nice overall
