Review summary

Great ship. Lots of activities for families and food opportunities. Port Everglades is a great port and overall I was impressed with this ship and the service. This is one of my favorite ships after just one cruise.

Service was great

Ship Quality

I love this shop because it’s not to big and not too small

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabins are typical cruise ship cabins. We had a balcony room and it was fantastic.

Ship tip

Grab lunch at the steakhouse or one of the other pay to eat restaurants on the day of embarkation. It’s such a relief after a half day of traveling to sit down and be served.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

4 out of 5
Traffic was a nightmare at this port. But it is so close to the airport I could see the ship after we got off the plane.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We did a resort for a day excursion and it was fantastic. They didn’t skimp on the drinks either.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Was crazy if you didn’t have priority debarkation. Long lines of waiting.
