My new husband and I chose this cruise for our honeymoon because it went to places neither of us had been before. Previously, he sailed Carnival and I sailed Discovery... something I won, I'm not entirely sure it's even a real cruise line. My first cruise was more like a ferry ride to the Bahamas, so this one was very refreshing considering I vowed to never cruise again after the first one.

We got to the port around 11:30 and were on the ship by noon, possibly earlier! The decor, although a bit outdated, is immaculate. I didn't even realize I had stepped onto a boat when I walked into the lobby. The balcony room we had was a lot larger than I expected, with several closets and a small couch. I think we were in there with our bags by 1:30. And the balcony... yeah... never another cruise without having one!

The breakfast buffet was not good... at all. I tried it almost every morning and it never changed. One morning there was a cheesy chickeny thingy that was pretty good, but otherwise I would always get a bagel. Sadly, I lived by the theory that bagels wouldn't fail me and on the last day I nearly broke a tooth on one. Oh well.
