We been on four cruises on the Sovereign and she has yet to disappoint us. This is a perfect cruise for first timers and a great choice for a short getaway for couples and families alike. Yes, the cabins on this ship are small, but we don't spend much time in ours. The decor is very pretty. Everything may not be brand, spanking new, but it's clean and neat as a pin. Our stateroom attendants on all of the cruises were efficient and friendly. If you want to stay on a higher deck and save some money, book a cabin on the Mariner deck. The views are somewhat obstructed by lifeboats but you get a good discount on your cabin and are on the 8th deck. However, try to avoid any cabins above Bolero's (salsa bar) if you turn in early. I love the decor and soft, warm tones of the dining room. It has an intimate feel. I have to say that the food is probably some of the best we've ever had on a cruise. The menu hasn't changed much but I must say that I feel the quality is terrific. As for the itinerary, we don't spend much time in Nassau since we've been there several times. However, we always have a wonderful day on Coco Cay. The scenery is always fantastic. The BBQ lunch is very good, but if you prefer not to fight crowds, eat lunch on the ship and tender over to Coco Cay later. Sure, you have to pay extra for some of the drinks, but on what other vacation are all meals and room service included in the price?? Overall, this is a wonderful vacation at a great price.
