We traveled with a group of 9. Most of us had been on the Jewel 2 years earlier and we had high expectations of AOS especially after the refurbish.
We flew down 2 days early and stayed at the Doubletree by Hilton. Very nice hotel and conveniently located to beach, shopping and restaurants along Avenue Ashford.
We arrived at the terminal around 11.30 am and quickly wizzed through the Platinum line to check in. There came the first screw up as the late did not comprehend that my wife as group host and platinum wanted to check in our group together but since not everyone was platinum she made the whole group split up.
Cabin is in need of refurbishing. Closed in balcony needs some time to get used to. No bathroom goodies only soap and shampoo dispenser.
Fridge is empty and can be stocked on demand ( i like that since we never used the stuff from the mini bar).
