Creator's Key Takeaways

We were immediately ushered to our muster station and the crew was friendly and upbeat. Plus, they give you welcome margaritas. How awesome is that?

The Jimmy Buffet theme was throughout the entire ship and the land shark pool always had Jimmy's music playing on the big screen.

Creator's Tips & Advice

The blender cups are a good value because they hold 22 to 24 ounces, making refills more cost-effective.
In the dining room, you can order several appetizers and desserts, but stick to one main to avoid the $7 upcharge.
