Itinerary: Bahamas
EXTREMELY small cabin; food including buffet barely palatable; entertainment good; service good; Arrived in Nassau at port where tankers/freighters were docked.
Stayed in Casino quite often to avoid coming to cabin. No TV in cabin. One (I saw) in lounge. That's where my husband stayed through out voyage. What could we expect? Cost for two passengers? $200
Service great! Dining room food didn't taste freshly prepared. More like warmed over. Buffet was a joke. Cold cuts delivered from local market with a few rolls.
Closet? A nail on the wall, held our clothing. Well....I'm exaggerating a bit. The shower curtain kept trying to permanently attach itself to me. Nose of shower? Don't think it was too loud, I heard the people in the next cabin arguing.
Shows were okay. No problem there. They really tried, and I applaud the acts.
Ports? I'll say it again. I watched tankers/freighters in Nassau. I would have cost us $45 to drive into town. I've been to Nassau several times. So, there was no need to pay taxi fare and see the same old town.
Met some very nice couples at our table. We struck up a temporary friendship. But, they are some 4 hours away by car and we never followed up after the usual cards/letters. I even forgot their names. But they were pleasant - we all laughed about the ship. It kept us from going crazy.
