Review summary

While it was a short cruise, any cruise itenerary that includes CocoCay is a win. That place truly encompasses the “Perfect Day”, as they tout. The weather was perfect for us as well. Early to mid June is a great time to go.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

It’s an interior cabin… small but cozy. Room steward did a great job keeping it tidy and clean.

Ship tip

Balconies are always worth the extra price.

Port Canaveral, Florida

If you’re willing to make the hour drive, Universal Studios is a great destination, close to the port.

Not much to do. Looks like they’re attempting to build it up though.
