We sailed on the Aug 30th departure from Tampa, dodging the Republican National Convention and Tropical Storm Isaac. My son and I wanted a quick, short cruise to attain Platinum status at a reasonable price. We got more than we bargained for in a good way!
Getting on the ship was an absolute breeze. I decided to time it. We arrived at about 1:30 in the afternoon, and by 1:43 we were on the ship and heading to our cabin.
Staff on this ship were wonderful and particularly want to single out our dining room waiter Remy from Haiti. An absolute gentleman, a consummate professional and a genuinely nice guy.
