How people can give a bad review of sailing on the open sea, I don't know, unless the ship sinks. We were a party of 11 and I don't think any of us had a bad experience. The only negative I can think of (and it wasn't as much a negative as a slight inconvenience) is that there was a Bluegrass Music Convention scheduled the same week as our cruise, therefore, half of the passengers were probably over 70. Not that that's a bad thing, but from my observation many were rude and pushy to the crew and to others as well, maybe I will be rude and pushy at 80 also, who knows.
My party had inside cabins on deck 3, very nice, but the beds were a tad dated. They were nice and quiet though.
Food was good all around and there seemed to be plenty to do.
Our cabin was situated right under the Centrum and I was afraid it would be noisy from above, but not so. It was very quiet. Everything in the cabin worked fine. The only draw back were that the beds were a little dated.
The kids went on a snorkeling excursion and said they had a great time.
Cape Canaveral was fine, check in was a breeze.
