Creator's Key Takeaways

As a top producer with WinStar, I can easily say they're a great travel partner of cruise planners.

The Surf is a little under 15,000 tons and holds 342 passengers with a crew of about 210.

While Windsurf is a premium vessel and not ultra luxury, I have to admit I was slightly worried if there would be long lines and that kind of thing, but the check-in process was easy and friendly.

It's really a great casual ambiance.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Never book directly with any cruise line as they don't offer a value tracker.
Book through a top producing travel agent to get extra perks and onboard credit.
Get an early reservation for Candles Grill to dodge weather.
If you have a mobility issue, ask for a cabin near one of the two elevator banks.
