Creator's Key Takeaways

We paid more than double our usual cruise fare for this Montreal to Miami voyage, so the big question is: was it worth it?

I expected to be greeted a little bit more at the port with a little bit more celebration or style or class.

The all-inclusiveness of the cruise... you pay one fair and that's it. You're done.

The production crew, the Seaborn 6 was the name of the production cast, and they were phenomenal. They blew my mind away.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Order breakfast into your cabin every day because the buffet can be crowded.
If you're on a cold weather cruise, be prepared for limited bar access indoors.
Consider booking a suite for the extra space and amenities, but weigh the cost difference.
