I saw a review on this ship and I believe that person who wrote it cruised on a different ship. A lot of what he/she said was not accurate.

I sailed from Nassau, Bahamas. We were able to board one or two days before the ship sailed for $100/night, which is a lot cheaper than going to a hotel and paying for our food for the day.
