We chose this ship after reading other reviews and know it had be freshly redone. Being our first cruise I wanted a short trip and they were offering a good deal when I booked this of 50% off deposit and $150 on board credit. We used the credit to buy the soda and voom package for my wife and the soda package for me. We also purchased the Essential Nassau package. Embarkation went very fast we were on the ship by 12:30pm and were able to hit the windjammer and eat. We then went to our cabin 6314 which was a balcony room. We put our suitcases in the room and went and explored the ship. The food in the windjammer was good what you would expect in a buffet.

The next morning our first stop was Cococay. We loved it here they are still using tenders but that will stop once the pier/dock is done. We purchased the all day snorkeling and seen many beautiful fish, stingrays, and even a sea turtle. One of the couples we made friends with during the cruise said they saw a manta ray. We rented an umbrella and stayed at the beach nearest the ship which was were the snorkeling beach was and did not get as crowded during the day as I had imagined. They offered the coconut drink but in a glass and not in the coconut as I had seen in advertisements they did have a drink in a hollowed out pineapple though it was $12 without the drink package and $9 with it then free refills with drink package. The bbq lunch was good we had a suckling pig, ribs, and pulled pork. There was corn on the cob and other sides as well.

After returning to the ship we went to the Cafe on the promenade and got some pizza. It was good. We listened to the live music they had and they even got a conga line going. We ate in the windjammer as we did not want to dress up for the dining room. Read more
