Overall 10/10

Our family had the best time on our cruise! From start to finish, everything went smoothly and according to plan thanks to the wonderful staff onboard the paradise sails cruise. They always went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed, from directions around the ship to information about our upcoming adventures. And as for the food wow, just wow there really wasn’t anything we didn’t like, from main courses to desserts (and trust us, we’re tough critics!). Thank you for making our first cruising experience so wonderful we’ll definitely do it again someday soon!
