This was our first cruise. I read all the reviews I could before and wasn't sure what to expect. Here is my review from someone who lives in Iowa and wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth!
The ship has to be the biggest thing i've ever seen. Three football fields long and 7 or 8 stories high out of the water. We flew in to Tampa saturday morning, we had a room at Wyndam Westshore. I had read a lot of bad reviews about it before, but as far as I saw it was pretty nice, very old, they need new carpet but I'd stay there the next time. It was a 7 out of 10. They picked us up at the airport and took us back the next day that was a good deal.
We left Tampa 8-6-6. The ship was perfect not at all too loud or overdone like the silver spooners said.
