Great first ever cruise. First time out of the country for my 3 adult children (19 - 26) and they will very likely be cruising again from this experience. But be prepared to be overwhelmed with the things you can do both on and off the ship. Cruising can wear you out if your not paying attention! :-)
Embarkation
5 out of 5
FTTF was WELL worth the price. Had 11:30AM checkin and seemed like I moved constantly thru check in directly to my cabin.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Staff was excellent from stewards to our GREAT Head Waiter Aldie. Impressive how 2100 people can be in a confined space yet did not seem to wait to long for anything that happened on the cruise.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Needed some more pool space, but hard to indulge that quantity of people in a pool.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Great entertainment options, but not enough time to do all of this things I wanted to check out. Was NOT bored.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Always greeted with a smile. Service is better than expected.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Ship was in great shape. Hard to believe she is as old as she is. Was an ex-Navy person and was actually hoping for some ship movement - but was solid. Family loved it.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Was fine for my 3 adult sons. Not much time in room expect to sleep, or prepare to go back out to find something to do.
Ship tip
FTTF is worth it. We were enjoying ourselves while others were carrying their bags around.
Beach is very rocky. Food lines were horrible. As good as the service on the boat was, the shore food lines seemed to lack enough service folks to move people thru. The hamburgers were burnt and saw several trays prepared like this.
Snorkel/Dolphin experience was canceled, so upgrade to dolphin encounter was offered for free. Was a GREAT trade up and very happy with the trip, boat captains, and Dolphin staff. Port offered a lot to do when we got back. Almost an extension of the boat with the shops and Senor Frogs.
I was one of first off to obtain rental car for trip to Cape Canaveral. Was so quick, I had to wait for rest of family quite a while. But excellent/fast service once it got started.
