Review summary

Loved our cruise. Loved the people. Loved everything about it. I didn't feel crowded. I wish we had a better package deal that included the gratuities and drinks. In the future, I hope they can offer 5 day cruises and more excursion options for the South FL area.

Embarkation

A little crowded and took a while, even though we arrived at the scheduled time

Ship experiences

The food in the dining room was mediocre. My family preferred the buffet options. The desserts need improvement.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Wish the bunk had a lower bunk in our room. My daughter had a hard time sleeping on the top bunk and the queen bed just couldn't fit all 3 of us. Our toilet had issues in our cabin throughout the week; other than that it was a nice room.
