Review summary

Our cruising party was a group of 6 (3 couples), and we were there to celebrate our 40th birthdays. It was perfect. We were able to hang out and just be our normal selves, or we could go catch a show. It was our intention to not really "plan" anything or have any set schedule, and it all worked out perfectly. We are already looking forward to planning our next cruise.

Faster to the Fun is the only way to cruise! We were on our ship in a matter of minutes.

The pools were just too crowded for us to enjoy. I think every adult on the ship wanted to get to a kid-free area, which was hard to find.

Beautiful location, and the people are super friendly. Mr. Sanchos is a must-do if you're looking for an all-inclusive excursion.

I know this port is new and the people are really trying to make it inviting, but getting away from the main port area is difficult. There is no direct access to a beach area.
