Review summary

We boarded the ship in Tampa and the process was pretty smooth and didn't take too long.  The cabin was ready, but they are small and rather dingy.  Only one chair for two people seemed a bit odd, also no chair at the desk either. The bathroom was very large though and the shower worked really well.  I've been on many ships and we've always either did the safety/muster process inside or outside but for some reason we had to do both.  I am very claustrophobic and had to stand against the back with people all around me for way too long.  I asked could I be at the front and was told no.  Not a good start to the cruise for me.  

 

However we had a great time, met a lot of nice people on the cruise and had a blast at New Years Eve. The bartenders at the Casino bar (outside of it) were amazing.  Silvio was our favorite, he was very attentative.  We didn't like most of the people at our table at dinner so we only went the first two nights. The food was ok, nothing special but that's typical Cruise Food nowadays! The Band Last Call was our favorite, they were exceptional!

 

Overall I would recommend it to anyone as it was great fun for NYE.
