Review summary

I had a great time. It was exactly what I wanted - low key and fun options when I wanted them

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Would highly recommend FFTF - we walked right in, walked right up to the counter, got on the ship and right to our room!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dining room was amazing. Buffet was just the same food every day and seemed closed more often than it was open. Line for pizza and deli were always absurdly long.

South Beach Club Lido Restaurant

Ship tip

It is an older ship, but if you are just wanting a cruise (and not rock climbing) it is the perfect ship. Perfect size, too.
