Cabin was a good size and thanks to Leevon was always clean.

Ship tip

The ship was a bit more dated than I expected...the theater seats were horrible...luckily the shows were only 45 minutes each. She is in need of an overhaul.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Because we did not go through customs in Miami on the way out we had to be the first off to go through customs at 6:30am. Only issue was we had to wait almost 2 hours for our excursion.

That’s the reason we always fly in the day before the cruise. Good for you for not letting that ruin your vacation
