Review summary

We sailed on the Ecstasy out of Galveston since we live in Texas and could just drive to the port. This was our first cruise and we went with an open mind. The ship was really beautiful, the meals were elegant, the food was great. We had a wonderful experience. One unexpected result was the making of new friendships with our dinner companions.

The shopping was sketchy, the town was dirty and a bit scary. We quickly went back to the ship.
