My family and I have been on a number of cruises and I have to say that while we had an overall great time there were a bunch of things on the ship that we would change. The rooms are VERY small, smaller then any other room we have ever had. I shared a room with my dad and it was quite uncomfortable, there were no drawers anywhere in the rooms for clothes or anything else and every time you went to the bathroom you almost had to climb over one of the beds. The food was good but my nieces are VERY picky and they had a tough time eating. Unlike other cruise lines, there is no pizza 24/7 and if you choose to do room service there's a $5 charge which I think is insane. Also, on most other cruise lines there are more options at lunch. My nieces don't eat hamburgers or hot dogs and that was most often all there was if you missed the official lunch time which most of the ship did considering on ship time was around 4. I will say though that the staff was incredibly sweet and accommodating and they really could not have been better. The ship itself left a lot to be desired and initially we chose to go on the Sky because they said it had been in dry dock in 2013 which we assumed meant it had been updated but that was not the case. It's a VERY old ship in desperate need of refurbishment. I would not go on another cruise on this ship.

Miami

We chose to rent a car and go do an air boat ride in the everglades. We went with Hertz because the bus was right there and that was a HUGE mistake. They were SO slow and the men were completely incompetent in the office. Luckily there was a woman there working who saved the day. Do not go to Hertz! The airboat ride was great, highly recommend it for everyone. There are number of boat companies less then 45 minutes from downtown Miami.
