Review summary

We had cabin 6483 we usually go on the he Magic but wanted to try a different boat and itinerary and man were we glad we did. Our cabin in in the back of the boat and the room was bigger and the deck larger than the same level and location cabin on the Magic. Now I could tell the boat needed updates and had some wear and tear but the room size and deck size staff entertainment and fantastic excursions more than made up for it. I can’t wait to go on this boat again. Matter of fact I am already planning my next cruise for 2018!

We did the mud buggy excursion and the entire experience was awesome. You better come prepared the be completely covered in mud. My husband wanted to do this one but I ended up having just as much fun! And we’re in our late 40s

We took the twister boat ride to passion island and again absolutely loved the ride out there and the island and entire staff for both were so fun and welcoming. One on the island we were shocked at how much we had to do and it wasn’t crowded at all. None of the locals were harassing us to buy anything. They had an all you can eat buffet and of course all you can drink. The bathrooms we’re constantly being cleaned and very nice. I wish I had brought some more money or a credit card so I could have done some more shopping in the huts they had with local made items. Definitely bring water shoes due to a line of shells at the waters edge but then it’s nice and soft sand clear beautiful water. It included kayaking which was very fun and there were other water toys for rent as well. I hated to leave. The staff on the list and on the island made it a wonderful experience.
