Review summary
This was my first cruise. I found the time to be very relaxing overall. The food was very good and plenty of it. Lots to do. Only complaints was we found out we were on a spring break cruise. They pretty much took over the pool areas for the first few days. And all the bars were crowded and took long times to get waited on. We also lost the chance to stop for shore excursions in Haiti due to weather and that the ship had to return a sick passenger to Miami overnight as he had a stroke. Aside from all that it was enjoyable. Might do one again in future
