I just took the 7 night cruise from Baltimore, MD to Florida and the Bahamas. Overall, I had a wonderful week! There are a few things that I would like to elaborate upon. I am in my mid-twenties, and I traveled with my boyfriend. There were not a lot of other people our age on the cruise. There were a lot of families with young children and older couples.

Embarkation took about an hour and a half total, which I did not think was bad at all. I was expecting much worse. The ship itself was beautiful. The one negative review I have is the sewage smell that often seeped into public areas of this ship.

We ended up becoming friends with one of the couples and spending most of our free time with them. Dining was excellent.
