3 day RCL Bahamas cruise

[Dendycat]

Just interested to see if anybody has done one and if they would recommend one.
We have RC vouchers to use and Disney don't seem to do the 3 day Bahamas cruise during June do wondered whether this might be an option.
We'll be travelling with my parents and two children.

We did a 3 day RC cruise a couple of years ago from Miami (one day into Nassau and one day into one of the RC islands for the other day).
Good points - it was cheap as we got a late deal $199 each, the food was plentiful and loads of places onboard to eat, the cabin was fine with an outside porthole and there was lots of entertainment on board and we really enjoyed the day we left the ship and went to RC private island where they laid on a huge buffet lunch.
Not so good points - (just my opinion!) Nassau port is a real dump (felt unsafe) with loads of folk trying to sell you stuff and we noticed unless you had organised a days excursion from the port (to say Atlantis), many didn't leave the ship. We made the mistake over going over a weekend so it was full of 'party' 20 somethings hogging the whole pool area and playing water / drinking games. Overall, it was fine for the time we spent and the price we paid. If we did it again we would upgrade, pay more and go to other Carribean islands.

Thanks for the feedback. Interesting about the 'partying', I'll need to have a good think about it.

We did a four day RCCL cruise on the Majesty of the Seas about eight years ago (Miami-Nassau-Coco Cay-Key West-Miami). It did what it said on the tin but did have a booze cruise feel about it. Not the best cruise we've been on but it was fantastic value for money.

One thing to consider with RCI is which ship they have loads which range from small to enormous, this can affect the experience you have.
