We recently completed a four day cruise from Jacksonville, Fl to the Bahamas, stopping at Freeport and Nassau. After experiencing the most expensive suite on the ship during the Alaska Cruise (remember we got a free upgrade), this cruise was a test. We wondered how the cheapest cabin at the bottom of a ship would compare. Our accomodations moved from the highest deck to the lowest deck for passengers. However, we did splurge ($60) for a cabin with a window. We did notice a bit more noise from the crew's activities one deck below us as well as a slight bit of engine vibrations. We did miss the extra space and sitting area in the suite. While the food and entertainment were comparable there was a definite difference in the service and the clientel.
Considering the overall experience and what it cost, we still considered it a good value. While we'll still go on some nicer cruises, we will do some of these quick cruises, especially since they are an easy driving distance and we have discovered how to get an even better rate. "When it's cheaper than staying at home, you can't afford not to go!"
