Review summary

I purchased the cruise as a last minute deal based on price. I'm glad I did....I enjoyed so much in the 5-6 Days of the Cruise. The weather was rough and sketchy on the second day, but other than that, beautiful. I have cruised before, but had not been to these ports and never done the Falls/Ziplining Tour....Adventure. Enjoyed. Everyone working on ship was pleasant and on task. Even though an older ship, I was interested in the sun/deck/views and entertainment....And those were wonderful.

Only enjoyed the beach/port -- BEAUTIFUL DAY. There could be more options in the port if you're not going on a tour. Had a Bad experience at Margaritaville -- if other options, I would have chosen those. Pleasant Laid Back Port.

I was on the same cruise and Margaritaville was horrible that day! Especially considering we were the only ship in port with a heavily reduced capacity. The cruise itself was awesome though!
