We typically go to the beach or fly to an all inclusive island resort in the Caribbean. However this year we decided to "change it up" and take a cruise. We chose Baltimore as our origination point to avoid having to fly. There were Pros and Cons (unfortunately more Cons) - I will start off with the Pros - Very friendly staff - our cabin Steward Christopher was very friendly and efficient! The activities staff were also very friendly and worked hard at organizing activities and events on the ship.

Super easy to embark/disembark. Considering the amount of people we were impressed. We purchased the "Faster to Fun" option which was worth the money.

The comedy shows were great. The Hasbro show was fun to watch. And Bingo....fun but pricey at $20-$40 pp. ****be aware when the announcement indicates they are giving away big jackpots!!! It's only IF BINGO is called within a certain amount of balls which is not very many. The jackpot greatly reduces after this point. For instance - final day cover all jackpot was $5,000. The winner was after the initial ball count and only got $1,000. Read more
