So this was our first cruise. Everyone told us how much fun we would have, but overall... the ship was pretty boring. We got an inside cabin... big mistake! No ventilation whatsoever. Our clothes and shoes got wet on an excursion & the shoes had to be thrown out because they would not dry even after 4 days and started to stink up the whole cabin! No matter what ship you choose, pay for the balcony. The extra space & fresh air is totally worth it!
We went on this cruise for our honeymoon & had a hard time deciding between this and carnival because we would have to pay to fly to florida to do carnival vs. drive to NYC (We are near cleveland ohio). We opted to drive & spend a few days in NYC before leaving. Big MISTAKE!
The first day was great & we thought we had made a great decision. Well, it didnt take long before we were in rocky seas & seasick the first 2 and a half days. Dramamine eventually helped (except on the way home when we hit 50mph winds & 15 foot waves).
The cabin was overall very small. The activities are boring so you will likely spend more time in your cabin on this ship than you think (unless the weather is nice, then you will sit around the pool for hours). Spend the money on a balcony so you dont want to fly home from the last port instead of being bored to death for days.
