For a first time cruise, this ship and experience left much to be desired. The Jacksonville port requires the boat to go under a bridge which resulted in a delay when leaving port and a change in the itinerary due high tide. Shouldn't they plan for that?
The ship itself was comfortable, older but nice enough. We found our cabin to be very nice and perfect for what we needed. The food was ok, the sit down dinner at night was the best. The buffet was just ok, nothing to write home about and you honestly get sick of it after one day.
The staff on the ship were amazing! The first day out to sea was rough and they ran out of medicine but the staff did the best they could despite their own illness. Other passengers were ok, definitely not an exciting or fun crowd. Mostly rude families.
