Review summary

Our first cruise. I was surprised how windy and cold it got. Ship was fun. Lots of crazy spring breakers, but they were having a blast. Loved out ports of call. Truly enjoyed it an I would do it again

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Great. Very simple

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Dining Room was wonderful. The buffet was ok. I understand there were a lot of people to feed, but I felt it was nothing special. The breakfast foods were so so. I would have like to have seen Some gluten free bread or sweet roll choices. The scrambled eggs were not so good and not hot. I think I expected a little more specialty foods. It wasn’t bad, just wasn’t wonderful either

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Comedy club. Casino. Loved the 80s and 90s music trivia contest

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship was in great shape. People everywhere keeping it clean and picked up.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Not bad at all. My only complaint was the door between our balcony and the one next to us rattled very loudly. There was a loose latch. With the very strong wind, it was very noisy and kept me awake. I finally shoved a towel in there to make it stop

Ship tip

Bring warm clothes for evenings on deck and for air conditioned areas

We did the off shore excursion the day we arrived home. We did the Miami top 10. It was really great. Our tour guide Ignacio was awesome. We absolutely loved it and learned a lot

Go to the omelet station and have them make eggs for you. They will be fresh and hot. The eggs on the line are eggs from a carton. Find the breakfast places near the aft of the ship for hotter and freshly cooked items. Same goes for lunch. Don’t get sucked in to just the buffet lines. Glad you have fun. It’s addictive.
