Cabin: Mid-ship Mini-Suite with Balcony

Unfortunately we had a lot of cloudy, rainy weather. Food was good though I think the Specialty restaurants serve portions that are just too big, and such a waste of food,but atmosphere and service are excellent. Almost no waiting time for any meal. We avoided the buffet. Volcano cake in main dining rooms is 2Di4, mmm. Three times I had to send back fish dinners or lunch as they were not fresh and had a fishy smell , even in Margaritaville - a very fun place to have lunch with a cool ocean breeze. Bread in the Italian restaurant was the best Italian bread I have had in a long time. Veal good, too. As always the Hibachi restaurant was great. Staff in all the restaurants will bring you almost anything you request, even if not on menu. Best little Caesar salad with grilled chicken in O'Sheehans.

Not enough deck chairs for our one sunny sea day. Disappointed that no one came around with fun drinks in those cute glasses that you take home. So many people on the drink package that it did become a booze cruise, and drinks in ugly dixie cups are the new norm. The music at times was beyond loud on deck with them using a megaphone. I don't think they realized it wasn't spring break for college kids. Though H2O Spice is for adults only, it was very crowded and hot with no pool and no chairs unless you got up at 6AM and reserved them.

Cabin Review

Mid-ship Mini-Suite with Balcony

Cabin MA

Small........... for a mini suite, though nice large bathroom. Awful hangers.

Port Reviews

Miami

Weather was great.

St. Thomas

Rained.

Tortola

Rained, but we grabbed an island tour when it stopped for $15 each that was a lot of fun.

Nassau

Took a taxi to Cabbage beach. Gorgeous beach with the most uncomfortable chairs for $10 each and steep broken stairs to get to beach. No facilities. Be careful with children, water looks calm but can be rough. I saw quite a few people, adults, knocked down in 6 inches of water. One lost her top........ Quite the show.
