Review summary
This is a good, inexpensive cruise, especially if you plan on flying from across the country, as flying into Ft. Lauderdale is cheaper, and the airport is close to the cruise terminal. The ship was clean and had lots to do every day at sea. Labadee wasn't spectacular, as it was crowded and food ran out quickly, but it was still nice to veg on the beach. Falmouth was fun and fantastic!

Ship tip
The cruise was great! The food was excellent, the entertainment was fantastic, and the service was awesome! The only things I'd change would be the fact that their karaoke bar On-Air was only open for like an hour at a time, and Labadee was very crowded. The food on Labadee runs out, so go early!
Ports of call
Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida
