Review summary

The ship was nice, the food was amazing, and the staff were courteous. But I would strongly caution against cruising during spring break. We had 4 college age/early-20s kids in the rooms on either side of ours and they were loud until 2-3 each morning. We complained, and security apparently spoke with them and they were more quiet afterwards, but I would not book again during the spring break period as I did not realize how many spring-breakers would be on the ship. Other than that the cruise was great. If you're ok with loud, heavy-drinking college kids during spring break then go ahead, but if you want to choose your own bed time and not have it dictated by 21 year olds, pick another sailing date.

agreed, thank you for the review ... it also highlights the importance of researching the cruise dates, itinerary, typical passenger, weather, etc so there are no surprises....
