Review summary

We had a very nice time. There are always pros and cons to all vacations. On this one the cons were by far the disappointment we felt in the main dining room's main courses as well as the very short amount of time you have in Key West. By the time you are able to disembark you are well beyond the posted time of arrival. It only leaves you with really 3.4-4 hours for travel and fun. Overall the pros included the room cleanliness and service as well as the variety of things to do while on board. We really enjoyed the adults only Solarium pool which was quieter and more relaxed than the outdoor party pool.

Food and Dining

The Windjammer was consistent and enjoyable. Bar service was always prompt and friendly. The main dining room was really the downer of the cruise. The appetizers were decent but the majority of the main courses were extremely disappointing. I recommend eating some of your dinners in the Windjammer if you want to save the money and not upgrade to the premium dining package.
