Our take

Who it suits

The night before your cruise, sorted.

Check in, settle into Gaido's Seafood Restaurant for dinner, and toast the trip at the Redfish pool bar. In the morning there's free breakfast, then you head to the ship while your car stays free in the fenced, camera-watched lot until you're back. Arrive early and the beach is right across Seawall Boulevard, with a pool area for the kids. Guests rate it 8.2 out of 10, and the port is just 2.8 miles away.
