Review summary

Overall, I really enjoyed this cruise with my family. The parade on board and breakfast with Madagascar characters was so much fun for my son. My late husband and I enjoyed a romantic valentines dinner. Couldn’t ask for much more.

Embarkation

Flew into MCO a day early and stayed at a hotel with free port shuttle. Boarding was a bit chaotic but overall good experience.

Not much around. I recommend flying in late the night before and heading to the port at your assigned time.

We took this cruise shortly after hurricane Maria. We really wanted to buy local and support small businesses. While there we did an amazing atv excursion. My husband and I were experienced riders and ended up with a private tour. After our excursion, we spent time shopping near the port.

Our kayak excursion was canceled due to weather and a snorkel excursion was recommended in its place. Honestly it was a poor recommendation because of the choppiness of the weather and inability to see anything. Overall nice boat ride. The airport was cool to see. We witnessed the damage from Maria which was heartbreaking. We were happy to support however we could.
