I booked our tours with Gray Line both to the Everglades and Key West through the Go City pass I…read morepurchased. They came and picked us up conveniently from our hotel in South Beach. I thoroughly enjoyed both of the trips. The bus on the trip to Key West was not as comfortable as the brand new seeming double-decker bus that took us to the Everglades but all in all it was an excellent experience that both my daughters and I really enjoyed ourselves. The bus driver was EXCELLENT on the way to the Everglades and back. He acted as our guide while we were there at Everglades Holiday Park. He was super helpful and kind going the extra mile to make sure my kids and I were able to get our pictures retaken and picked up after a technical glitch on the parks side. The trip to Key West was also staffed by some incredibly helpful and polite people. Our tour guide was Thamara and SHE WAS WONDERFUL!!! Super helpful, super knowledgeable, super attenuative, super polite and she spoke 3-4 languages. I was so impressed by her professionalism. I read through the other review and have to admit, if there were issues before with this company, they have fixed them. I had a flawless and amazingly fun experience with them. I will absolutely book with them again in the future.

Decided to take my friend from DC on a tour who had mentioned she wanted to see some breweries and she also loved it. It was a different experience than my first tour which included samples at Funky Buddha, LauderAle and Wynwood Brewing - I loved getting to know the breweries and brew masters. On my second tour we hit up Veza Sur, Concrete Beach and Wynwood Brewing and started at Union Beer Store - it was perfect for an out of town guest because we got to see Little Havana and Wynwood. Our tour guide was awesome and so were the other people on the tour. I definitely think it's more fun when you have a big group and organize it as a private tour which has to have a minimum of 15 people. I definitely suggest comfortable shoes, wedges are comfortable but not exactly the best for going up and down the bus steps. Another pro-tip, EAT breakfast before because not a lot of breweries have food. I recommend this to anyone who loves beer or looking for a fun tour experience. Overall, nice value and very memorable.

The following is based on my family's experience during the 5-day Christmas out of Charleston, SC for Nassau & Princess Cays. Food: (A+) fresh tasting, delicious, plentiful with good variety/selection. Always make your dinner time whether it's early dining or late dining because the best food (appetizer, entree, dessert) will be at dinner time. It was something that our family always looked forward to. Besides that you must also have enjoy brunch in the dining room (only offered on the sea days). Beyond the fabulous 4 star dining, the lido deck makes super tasty burger & fries! The pizza, sandwiches, and Mexican food were all pretty good too. Entertainment: (A) constant schedule of packed with fun activities and shows; more options than you can imagine or hope for. Dancing-singing performances, bingo, prize games, trivia games, casino, bars, nightclub, stand up comedy, spa, fitness center, water slides and many, MANY photo ops. Service: (A) from housekeeping to dining to photography to bars to guest concierge to entertainment activities everyone was almost always friendly, attentive and smiling. The only department that seemed serious was the staff that guarded/secured the embark & debark. Special recognition to Britney, our beautiful, fun & energetic cruise director; to Wahyu, Albert, Melroy, our dining servers; to Jaypee, our housekeeper; to Thanh Vy, bar server. And to the rest of the wonderful staff for making the trip magical!!! *Recommendation for shore excursion: @ Nassau, I strongly suggest you do the the Adrenaline JetBoat!!! It's one of the newer options on offer, and it is 1 hour of thrilling adventure on the water!!! It is like a jet ski but for a group of up to 12 people. They do 360° spins (like fast & furious drifting) and even do dives that pummel water at you.

First time cruiser? This listed review might help you out!…read moreBefore you go... -Yes, you need a passport. When you arrive... -Parking at the Port of Miami was a breeze. We were able to find a spot directly across from the ship. For $20 a day, it was worth it to just get out of and back into the car after you arrive home. From where I live it would have been about the same to rent a cab so it worked for us. The ship itself... -Made in the early 1990s, and you can see it from the neon style lights in the atrium. The ship still looks pretty damn good for being a bit older than most. -Our cabin was an interior one around the U180's. (Deck 6, toward the back.) We felt a bit of rocking but not much. We did feel the engine vibrate and the ship rock when pulling into and out of port. -Lots of things to do! Comedy show was hilarious and the Motown show was cute! If you miss certain events, they will rebroadcast them on the TV later. This is good to watch when you're hiding from the sun in your room for a bit! -Casino and the dealers were fun as well! The food... -Overall I give it 3 stars. Some stuff was amazing and some stuff was more like cafeteria food. -The lido deck buffet was definitely more cafeteria style. My friend and I always found something we liked but nothing was "wow" there. -Dining room had better quality food for sure! I would recommend eating there over the buffet. You can actually order multiple plates if you still want buffet gluttony AND better quality food. -GET THE WARM CHOCOLATE MELTING CAKE. Just do it. It is amazing. The drinks... -Light, tropical drinks are available wherever you turn! -Average price is $8-$10 per drink which is expensive for some, but us locals are used to getting price gouged for alcohol! A little piece of home sweet home. :-) The staff... -I've never seen a group of workers bust their butts so hard in my life. I did not see 1 worker ever standing around doing nothing. Great group of people. -Friendly and helpful! -Tipping is usually included with your cruise, but please bring extra cash for these people. They will impress you. Half Moon Cay, Bahamas... -Go down to deck 3 and board the ferry to shore. In less than 10 minutes you'll be at the island. -It is absolutely gorgeous. -Our snorkel excursion got cancelled due to ocean conditions, so we had a peaceful beach day. Nassau, Bahamas... -Pretty water -Tons of shopping -Great food -We enjoyed the art museum, the churches and the distillery. -The straw market is an experience for sure! A lot of the sellers are pushy, so have your game face on and go in there with a plan! I was offered to purchase a crack pipe, but I opted for the t-shirt instead. Seriously. Overall, a nice cruise for the price. I would definitely cruise Carnival again, but I think I may want to try another ship this time to see what the newer ones have to offer. This is a great ship though and I would recommend it to anyone. Happy cruising!

While exploring Little Havana, we sampled freshly made tropical juices at El Palacio De Los Jugos (don't miss the guanábana), and Cuban coffee at El Pub. As we walked along the famed Rooster Walk, we visited a family-owned cigar shop (Cuba Tobacco Cigar Co.), a Cuban shirt shop (D Asis Guayaberas - the owner is quite the character!), the famous Domino Park, and Cubaocho (home of the old Frank Sinatra bar's furnishings and an amazing art collection), where we were treated to live Cuban music. We then visited several other historically significant sites, including the Ermita de la Caridad. Our guide's stories and personal relationships with the folks we met along the way made this a one-of-a-kind experience.

A bucket list trip through the Panama Canal... worthy of my 700th review. My late partner, and I…read moreloved to cruise a lot, and we have always been "loyal to royal." This trip was 13 days, from San Diego to Miami. The serenade is one of Royal Caribbean's smaller ships, and while I do like the bigger ships with all of their bells and whistles, these size ships are my favorite. Small, but with enough to do, this is how cruising used to be. Only 2000 or so passengers on the ship, plus the crew of a around 1000. There was a good ratio... The meals were excellent. In addition to smaller venues, like snack bars, they have the buffet, the main dining room, as well as an Italian restaurant, steakhouse, and Japanese place. You pay for the premium restaurants, but if you book them before your cruise, you can get very decent prices on the premium places. The activities were great. There was a gym, a rock, climbing wall, a mini golf course, a single waterslide, and activities for the kids, although this cruise, the passengers skewed older. There were only about 30 kids on our cruise. If you cruise on the bigger ships, especially when school is out, you will experience quite a few more kids. That's another advantage of being on one of the smaller ships. There were also activities ranging from enrichment, talks, trivia, karaoke, game shows, a bellyflop contest in the pool, etc. Again, the great thing is, you can do as much or as little as you want. The staff was very good at setting up the activities . The shows in the ship's showroom were great, from comedians to variety shows. My favorite had to be the Motown review My favorite gameshow, , and the favorite of a lot of people, is Royal's adult themed game show, "the crazy quest." it's 18 and above, and while some people call it "X-rated", I wouldn't go that far, I would just say it can get a bit bawdy. Check it out on YouTube. All of the ports were great, but The star of the cruise was definitely the Panama Canal! It's amazing. You enter the canal at sea level, and head into a lock, which is basically a "water elevator". The ship is raised up to the level of the lake in the middle of the canal, you go through the lake, then when you get to the other end, you go back into another set of locks that lower you back down to sea level. It's an amazing feet of engineering. I did have to go to the medical facility, because I broke a crown, and it developed into an abscess. The medical facility took extremely good care of me. They put me on an antibiotic IV, and had me come in the next two days for another IV each day, and for follow up. They sent me to a doctor and a dentist once we got to our first port of Puerto Vallarta. It's not cheap. Three days worth of care cost me roughly $1000, plus the cost of the doctor and the dentist in Mexico. My personal insurance didn't cover it, as most won't, but that's why I always get travel insurance, which did cover it. My travel insurance company. (Generali) had my claim approved and paid before the cruise was even over. There was also a norovirus outbreak on the ship, but it only affected 100 out of 3000 people, passengers and crew. The medical department gave them free medical care, and while they were quarantined, they got free room service Also, the ship immediately went into deep cleaning, including bringing in people like lifeguards and people from the engine room to serve in the buffet, so people didn't have to get their own food. Even the people that got sick said that Royal handled it very well. The only reason I'm taking off of a star, was baggage claim was very disorganized, I believe it was because of the outbreak. Usually, baggage claim with is a piece of cake. I will give them a break this time, because this is the very first time, I had a problem. Overall, it was an amazing cruise.

I boarded the Voyager of the Seas in Barcelona for a 7 day cruise through the Eastern…read moreMediterranean. The ship was built in 1999 and at the time was the largest ship in the fleet. 10 years later it is still in good shape and among the biggest. The ship has the standard experiences most other cruises over: a casino, entertaining shows, activities, multiple locations to pick up a drink and clubs to dance the night away. Unlike other ships I have been on, Voyager of the Seas also has a large rock climbing wall, in-line skating, a 9 hole mini golf course, and an ice skating rink. Dining options include the traditional 6:30 and 9:00 dinner times, a My-Time option allowing guests to make reservations and eat whenever they choose, a Johnny Rockets, the Windjammer Café, an Irish bar and a sports bar. One thing I appreciated was the Vitality icon on the menu showing healthy food options. This icon also appeared on the excursion pamphlet showing customers tour options that provided healthier options. I did visit Johnny Rockets once - there is a $4.95 per person charge, but that includes any sandwich, an un-ending order of 1/2 fries, 1/2 onion rings. Sodas and shakes are extra. The Windjammer provided a large selection of food, but it was typical buffet food that is okay, but often lacks flavor. The dining room was great in appearance and the staff was excellent. The food again was mediocre. There were plenty of options including vegetarian, Indian, vitality and a few meatier choices, but nothing I had really blew my skirt. The tours were very good and priced competitively to other companies I have sailed with before. I took in a few of the shows and found the Cruise Director, Mercedes LaFuenta, to be very good. There were always options to be entertained and active either with an excursion or staying on the boat. A two floor library was located on levels 7-8 for those who wanted to check out a book and spend an afternoon on a deck chair. The fitness center rivaled my local gym and included several treadmills, weigh machines, elliptical and extra cost options for cycling & yoga. There was never a wait to get to a machine. I did not use the spa or sauna services, but they are available. The stops on the vacation were all amazing: Barcelona, Spain; Naples, Capri, Italy; Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy; Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Italy; Villefranche (Nice), France; Provence (Toulon), France; Barcelona, Spain. Each excursion that I booked was lead by knowledgable and friendly local tour guides and provided a good experience. The speakers in the dining room are poor and need improvement. The only other thing I would change is the food. It was good, but not memorable.
