Premier Big Red Boat

Pros: Service, Food, Staff, Children's Activities
Cons: You better enjoy the water

We took our first and only cruise aboard The Big Red Boat about 5 years ago. At the time this boat was operated by Disney and offered a great trip for families. My husband's parents gave this cruise to our family as a gift and to say the least...

Pros: Cheaper than most cruises, great children's programs
Cons: Old boat, food not great, lacking amenities

When a friend suggested we try Premier instead of our usual favorite cruise line, we readily agreed. We planned to take our four-year-old daughter along and so thought the Big Red Boat with the Looney Tunes characters would be a real treat for her. We...

Pros: simple and tons of activities for all ages and very economical!
Cons: Nothing real except that cabins are small but you are not taking the cruise to enjoy just the insides of the cabin!

Considering we took this cruise for our honeymoon in September 1989 when Hurricane Hugo could have affected our vacation plans the staff went out of their way to accommodate us as well as make the cruise very enjoyable. the cost is very reasonable in...

Pros: Very good Value for families.
Cons: Not enough adult activities.

Premier's Big Red Boat


On December 2, 1998 we set out on our first cruise adventure with a young child, our granddaughter Lori (5). We had mentioned...

Pros: Great Entertainment, Good Food, Comfortable, So Much To Do
Cons: Visited One Port (3 Night/ 4 Day Cruise)

I've been on many vacations and this was probably one of my favorite. We flew into Orlando and spent 3 Nights at Walt Disney World. Then we took a chartered bus (Provided By Premier Cruises) to Cape Canaveral. My first thought when we got to the port was...

Pros: great service, great food, great time!
Cons: Ship's store was out of Dramamine

My husband and I went on The Big Red Boat for our very first cruise in October of 1999. We departed out of Cape Canaveral and after finally finding the boat (the ship was moved to a different port and we were not notified) and waiting in a horrendous...

Pros: You will love it!
Cons: The trip seems too short!

The Big Red Boat I think is one of the most exciting things to experience while traveling through the Bahamas. If you ride this boat you will have the time of your life and will be something to remember for the rest of your life. The Big Red Boat has...

Pros: Excellent Staff and Service
Cons: Weather could have been nicer

This was a first cruise for my wife and daughter and we could not have enjoyed it more. Even our encounter with hurricane Irene in mid October of 1999 did little to dampen the spirit of the cruise. Although the vessel is an older ship it is being well...

Pros: The Budget Price
Cons: Older ship...not as many amenities

I went on this cruise on 02-99 with my sister for a low cost weekend getaway. This was my second cruise, the first being on Carnival Fantasy.

Arriving on BRB: When we got to the boat we noticed she was a really old boat, but we knew we got...

Pros: GREAT for families! Good value.
Cons: Older ship. Skip it if you don't have kids.

My husband, mom, my two kids (then ages 2 and 4) and I took the 4 night Big Red Boat cruise in November of 1997, it was our first cruise. I highly recommend this cruise for families! We all had a wonderful time. If you don't have kids though I would...

Pros: fun, relaxing, & enjoyable
Cons: small rooms

I went on a trip to the Bahamas on the Big Red Boat in May of 1997. It started out by waiting to get onto the boat. There were 2 people in our group that were not born US citizens and it took them a long time to get through customs. We finally got...

Pros: Size, Staff, Food, Economical
Cons: Stays in nassau onl;y,

We have taken the Big Red Boat 3 times now, both the 3 and 4 day cruises. I feel it is a good economical cruise. It seems a lot of opinions comment on the embarkation lines. We have been on 9 cruises and i EXPECT a line. how else can you get all those...

Pros: Children are welcomed
Cons: Only goes to Nassau, Bahamas

I would recommend this particular boat for first time cruisers and anyone traveling with children.

I have been on this particular boat 5 times and loved it each and every time. I have gone in March, June, September, October and December...

Pros: The best trip of your life.
Cons: I have no complaints

Being thirteen years old and taking a crusie to the Bahamas. What else could a girl ask for? A pony? Nawwww.....my parents surprised me with a cruise to the Bahamas follwing a 4 day stay at Disney World. I was so excited.
The Bahamas was absolutely...

Pros: Good children's program
Cons: short trip

Well I must say that I know the ins and outs of the Big Red Boat. I used to be a youth councilor there. I also met my husband there too! Yes I guess you can call it a love boat.

This ship is a great place to take the kids. The Youth staff...
