I would not recommend this cruise to anyone. I did have fun the first night but it went downhill from there.

The public areas were very well kept thru out the cruise. the dance club was too small. It seemed like they could only fit about 100 people in there then you couldn't walk around very easy. The Aft pool was never open till the last day of the trip.

The food was good in the dining room. the buffet food at times got a little cold but the quality was good. Room Service would not answer their phone the first night I tried. I tried 4 times that night. On the last night of the cruise they kept hanging up the phone on me until I went to the pursers desk and complained. On formal night there were a lot of people with t-shirts and jeans on and the waiters didn't care what people had on. It kind of pissed me off that they didn't care about the so called dress code.

Cabin was ok I never met my room steward because he was never around when he or she was supposed to be on duty. He did make my bed and took the dirty towels but that was all that he or she did. The bathroom was bigger then Royal Caribbean's. I had cabin M6 and there was a crew door that somebody kept going thru and kept slamming the door the first two nights onboard. I went down the third day and complained to Jessica at the purser's desk and she had the problem fixed within 2 hours.

Attended the first and second night shows. They were good. Cruise director was funny and helpful. Captain seemed nice. Overall quality of crew is a 3

We stopped in Nassau. It was raining and cold but I went to the Atlantis resort so it didn't matter if it was raining. Atlantis was great walked around for about three hours. A must see resort. Didn't do any activities on board the ship.

Other passengers was a good group except for the 400 or so country radio contest winners that were aboard. A lot of them went to dinner wearing shorts and on formal night allot of them were wearing jeans and t-shirts.
