Just off the Ecstasy/Review/FTTF

[lcp9984]

Just got back from the 4/4 sailing on the Ecstasy. We are a family of four and two friends ages 17 - 53. Purchased FTTF for each cabin. We arrived at Port Canaveral on Thursday morning around 11:00. At PC the FTTF lines are well marked. Walked right up, checked in and straight to our rooms that were ready. Luggage arrived shortly after. FTTF was well worth it especially when it came to the tender for Little Stirrup Cay. You just report to Guest Services and they escort you to the tender. NO LINES !! Never had to wait at Guest Services; line for FTTF, Platinum etc. clearly marked. The ship was clean and our staterooms were fine E160 and E216. Loved being on the Empress Deck, however, our rooms were directly below the galley and it did get a little noisy at night. It sounded as though someone was moving furniture. Didn't last long but it was enough to wake us up. We chose Anytime Dining and it was perfect for us. Never waited and had the same waitress 3 of the 4 nights. Service was great at dinner and we all enjoyed our food choices. I contacted room service twice; once for ice and once to open a bottle of wine. I promise you each time someone was there within 3 minutes. Visited Nassau & Little Stirrup Cay. There is plenty to do on the island. There are a few straw market shops that take cash only. The lunch/picnic is provided. Burgers, hot dogs, BBQ, pasta salads, chips & salsa, desserts etc. For a fee you can jet ski, parasail, kayak, water trampoline, snorkel. No charge - beach chairs (PLENTY), hammocks, volleyball, basketball, hairy man contest, and a beach olympics. TIP: when you get off the tender make certain you examine the island and see where you want to "call home" for the day. There are plenty of chairs and plenty of beach !!! Some parts are loud music and action and some are quiet and more serene. On our day, the tender started around 8:00 am and last tender back was 3:00 pm. The ship was very clean, staff was super friendly and helpful. I would recommend this 4 night cruise!! Let me know if you have any questions !!

We will be on the Ecstacy on May 2nd. Can you just rent a jet ski on the island? I looked at the excursions but it was not there. Do you know the cost?

Yes you can jet ski. I think it was around $110.00 per person and $35.00 for a passenger. It was listed on my excursions or you could purchase on the island.
