Review summary

For a first time eight day cruise, I had an amazing time. Eight days was just the perfect sailing for me. Lots of food, options, entertainment, and relaxation.

Embarkation

I’ve sailed out of Miami before. Unfortunately the screening process for this sailing was very slow. There was only 2 out of 4 xray scanners working at the time and Va led the line up a good 45 min.

Seafood Shack

5 out of 5

Seafood Shack always hits the spot when you’re craving som good crab legs or a cold lobster roll. It’s a bit pricey but if you’re a casino player, ask your host to comp you!

Ship Quality

Although I do know the crew works very hard to keep the ship clean and passengers happy, there were a few public bathrooms that needed some TLC all throughout the week!
