Cabin: Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

We picked this cruise because we had liked the ship before and we liked the ports it was going to. We had a marvelous time. I was nervous based on so many poor reviews but it was wonderful. Balcony room was a dream with the door open sleeping through the night or early morning sun rise and late night star gazing. Yes it shows some wear . Our room bathroom had some cosmetic issues on the mirror but didn't bother me. We loved every port , we enjoyed the ship so much. Never had a problem getting a chair. Food was great. First time we ate in the dining room every night. Thank you Sanford and Mithil. Best part of dining room portion controlled sizes and we could try anything we wanted sometimes two dishes at once. The Entertainment and the cruise director were great. One game show if you know it dance it the host taught a young girl to Salsa (highlight moment). Beatles show we went to twice and had an amazing time. Wish the comedian adult show wasn't at 11:30 too late for me couldn't make it but wanted to see it. We have fun no matter what we do and being on this beautiful ship if you don't have fun you probably don't enjoy everyday life like I do. Love the size of this ship and the onboard welcome party and the farewell show. Only bad part was our room steward he clearly wasn't happy with his life and job. Sarcasm not necessary. We are easy just ask for room done once a day and only two requests 3 towels and wine glasses daily but we felt like we were inconveniencing him so we would rather go through room service.

Cabin Review

Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin D2

Cabin was good. Bed was hard both our hips were hurting. Day 5 asked for a pad for bed helped minimally. Bathroom was fine. Needed more hangers, I always pack the wire hangers from the cleaners . Mirror on bathroom is needing to be refurbished but it really didn't bother me. Balcony a dream . Missing the balcony at home

Port Reviews

San Juan

Favorite port this trip. Loved the area , we toured the forts on our own. Everyone was so nice but the nicest at Pani Aqua!! Wow go to Pain Aqua have rice and fried port and mojitos. Recommend the Pineapple/Passion Fruit Mojito. Staff was so nice !!!

Labadee

Always wonderful!! Beach and water perfect. Everyone on the ship is always so happy at the beach. Got a chair. Umbrellas were a little expensive at 20 dollars. Wanted to do it but saved the money for a fun drink. Wish the umbrellas were cheaper to rent. I tip well the person from the island who sets up our chairs but wish the umbrella was cheaper would rather give the young man from Haiti the 20. Great music and tipped there well also. Please bring money to tip the locals who work and perform for you.
