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

2 out of 5
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

3 out of 5
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!
