Nice cruise for adults, but stay away if you have children under 20.

Review summary

This is a nice cruise if you are adults. This ship does not have much to offer for a family with children under 20 years old. Do your research on the ship and what the ship has for your kids to do. This trip was planned by another family so we didn't have much of a say.

The pool was nice but dont you dare bring a drink near the pool or inside the pool for that matter. There were two guys all over people for bringing your drink to the pool or in the pool. Whats the point of plastic cups if you cant bring your fruity drink to the edge of the pool?

Ship tip

This is more of an adult cruise ship than it is for any kids 21 and younger. I would highly suggest another ship for a family with kids under 21.

There was not enough time here. There was only 5 hours in Key west. I would not recommend the glass bottom boat tour. It was very hot and the boat AC didnt work. It was very hot and the glass bottom boat was more like a glass bottom window. Not worth the money at all. The Konk train ride was very informative, and there was a lot of informative things to do and learn about. It was nice. We didnt do much more than that since we really didnt have a bunch of time to do much of anything here. Would do this location again probably not a good place on a cruise.

This was just ok. There was not much information on the cruise regarding a bunch of information. We did a Hemingway tour which was very informative and kinda cool. With taht being said I was looking to purchase some cigars here and there was very little information provided by the cruise ship or anyone for that matter. My research on this before departure showed you can bring back $100 worth of cigars per person. ONce on the ship they reported you could bring back 100 cigars. Customs personnel reported you can not have a suitcase full but if they are ONLY for you, that was fine. Cuba had many beautiful old cars to look at and the beautiful buildings were amazing. There was little to no information on where to do and what to do. Again this is not a destination for little or younger kids as there isn't much to do here for them.
