Ship tip

All balcony cabins except the front of the ship are blocked from looking down by the life boats. Poor design.

We took a Royal Caribbean cruise round trip from Tampa. We had an 8pm flight home. If you’re in this situation, the Tampa Aquarium is right next to the cruise terminal. If you buy tickets to the aquarium, they will lock up your luggage for free and store it until they close. We spent the morning in the aquarium. It was nice. Then we ventured around some. After we got our luggage, Uber will picked us up from the aquarium. We were worried about having to carry our luggage around all day but this was an awesome convenience.

Yes carnival is better on options outside the dining room but I would go again. Carnival is my first choice on cruises.
