Super easy process getting onboard

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was fine. Buffet has something for everyone. We only ate in Main dining once or twice. Realized buffet serves many of the same options offered in main dining, just in a more casual setting. If you want the fanciee experience main dining is a nice option.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Rarely saw our cabin steward but he always took care of our room. Main dining service the few times we went was slow. Hard to get a drink at slots when casino was super busy.

Cabin / Stateroom

Great location on Lido deck. Not loud at all. Close to laundry room so we washed clothes mid cruise on this 8 day.

Ports of call

Key West, Florida

5 out of 5

Great port even if you have no excursion. We rented an electric car and cruised around, visited the Key West Garden Club, shopped and stopped for lunch and drinks at Caroline's on Duvall. Fish sandwich was so good!

Beautiful! Booked clam shell. Get off early to get a good spot. We hadno issues getting off or back on quickly but many others complained of loooong waits.

This was our favorite port. Had a day pass at Margaritaville. Would definitely return. Walked there, took taxi back. $25 taxi for short drive (3 people).
