Review summary

Never cruised before...got a suite which was very nice....food and service was good. Port calls were too short and excursions were not worth the money.

You waste 4 days going out of and returning to Baltimore on the sea......the weather sucked going south (49 knot winds). Sailed March 12-19.

The ship never stops "selling" you.....come to the art auction...buy photos of every day's event...drinks...soda...water....bottles of booze....jewelry....

i also enjoy the sea days more. i would rather be on the ship than any of the islands. and i might just stay on the ship! sorry you didnt enjoy as much as you thought you would..

I like being at sea better than the port calls myself. A cruise ship is a lot better than the ships I rode on in my Navy days. Port calls are a hassle.

We were on that one for our first cruise and even though the weather sucked for all but 1 day we had a great time. I'm a cynical guy and even I enjoyed it.
