this was probably the best dcrise ship I have been on. The food exceptional, the service brilliant, the staterooms good, the places we visited different some good some not so good but they are new to cruise passengers and only just building up. They are however, very friendly people in all the posts of call. The checking in process is quick and efficient. It is full of American passengers but they are ok. There was only one problem and that is the law in America insits the ships disembark all passengers and crew when they arrive in the states. This is inconvienient if you are not flying back to the UK like us until 8.45pm. We had to leave the ship at 8am that morning it made it a very very long day. however, the airport is nice and there are plenty of things to do in Tampa if you plan ahead. All in all I would give this cruise 9/10

OK, BUT IF YOU WERE ON SECOND SITTING YOU HAD TO GO TO THE SHOW AT 7PM WHICH WAS TO EARLY FOR US, BUT EVERYONE ELSE SAID IT WAS GOOD

ALTHOUGH WE DONT USE THE SHIPS EXCURSIONS, WHEN WE LOOKED THEY WERE REASONABLY PRICED AND HAD LOTS OF VARIATION. WE TEND TO GO OFF ON OUR OWN AND GET A LOCAL TAXI TO SHOW US AROUND
