I will review the 12 day cruise by category and not the " I got up on the day of the cruise at 7am and ate a raisin bagel with butter before heading out of the house" format. Your Welcome.

We have only good things to say about the cruise with one exception: We do not condone animal torture so we are always disapointed that some of the restaurants serve Foie Gras. We are NOT vegetarians but if you are aware of the procedure performed on live animals for this dish you'd feel the same.

Embarkation: Smooth, mostly because we were in aqua class and therefore bypassed the long check in lines, similar to First class at the airport. We especially enjoyed leaving from NJ and avoiding the flight to Florida. The "entertainment" bus picked us up in Massachusetts and the drive was 3.5 hours to Bayonne Port. $100 RT. We were on the Ship by 1pm. On the last day we made it from our stateroom, to luggage pick up, thru immigration, to the bus in 1 hour. Read more
