Review summary

Thunderstorm at embarkation. Other than that, it was a quite relaxing float. Made all ports. Weather was great. Nice ship. Did the Behind the Fun Tour, highly recommend it. Very informative and see much of the ships function, the kitchen, storage, and Especially enjoyed the Bridge. Got to ask the ship Captain questions. And photo ops.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Thunderstorm on arrival, actually had a lightning strike on the embarkation ramp. We had to embark from below deck. But what do you do? Get mad at Mother Nature? We had a good trip.

First cruise with a balcony. Was great. Just don’t spend a lot of time in the room. Too much to do on deck.

Ship tip

Wear good walking shoes. Large ship. Lots of activities. Matt is a great Cruise Director. Fun fellow.

Was very windy, expected the Captain to cancel the port. We got in, and had a wonderful day there.

Glad you enjoyed your cruise! You have a great attitude. We agree that a ship tour (at least) once is a must. We treated it as a shore tour onboard (for budget purposes).🛳
