we left from Mobile, Al great and easy to get on the ship it was the easiest departure port ever!!!!! My husband was from the city and we did go look and ride around. The ship was a little older then expected except the fact that some parts of the boat was boarded up with wood. Our cabin was really nice and the steward was awesome he kept the room cleaned everyday.The food was great and always on time with dinner didn't have to wait more then 15 minutes great service. We got sung to us happy honeymoon. there was much to do on the ship to much i honestly missed a lot of things;(. The service was absolutely great. No children that we traveled with but a lot was on board and the parents kept great eye on their kids. But i will get on this ship again thousand times more. I wish the cruise to us that our excursion was cancelled but the excursion manger she worked out a deal with everyone that excursion that got cancelled. And the place they took us was amazing free food and drinks and sea-lion shows we need the dolphins etc. and was worth 20 extra dollars
