Give yourself enough time to rest before/ after ports.

Smaller ship so not that much to do on it, but not as croweded and not as many kids. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH Effy programs they are a joke. They give away pretty much nothing and cheap 45 charms or less and try to sell you $21000 rings. Same with art auctions. They arnt auctions they are MIN BID so they want what they want and then maybe they get more. good for them but not for you. Teir prices are good I checked on that, but it's not really an auction so dont waste your time. If you see something on the wall you want. go ask what the min auction price is and they will sell it to you for that. Auctioneer however is fun to listen to all nice folks. They push the crap out of Peter Max so be forwarned and this is POP CULTURE ART which means buyer beware. They are pumping these things out like NAchos. and that drives future potential into the ground. If you watch the Videos you'll see them on the back wall lined up. don't watch the people watch the interiors of the studios and you will "Get it". Back to Effy. They push you to go to Diamonds International. don't waster your time they are HARD SELL EXPERTS. Marked up 5000%. We found much better deals elswhere. Example I bought a Tanzinite set for my wife for 350 down from like $1200 that DI wanted like $4000 for. It was a reptable dealer Milanos. Also In Cozumel I get a pair of reall nice big Tanzinite heart errings for her for 400-600 down from over $1300. I bundled it with a huge Abalonely Whale Shark and they also through in a pair of large Blur Opel sting ray errings and Pendent to get the deal done all for $750. Bought a Big Columbian Heart Emerald as well 3/8 acoss or so for $120 by the mall down town. Effy wanted like $2-3K for Emerald and and $4k for same type errings. and Yes with a Certificate. Do yourself a favor and rent a car for $70 and drive down the coast stop at a beach bar Jamacan by light house and have lunch and go to shops down that way. Youll get the best deals and save yourself 100's. We have done this twice. they are HUNGRY down that way. It's all about standing your ground, know what you want to pay and WALK AWAY FROM THE DEAL if they don't agree. Simple as that.

Don't need to buy a water bottle package. Love the movies by the pool with the blankets and free popcorn. Sign up your kids for Kids Club.

No need to do specialty restaurants our dining room and Buffett was more the enough and staff were great at all times

Don't expect hot food and you won't be disappointed.

Bring lots of spending cash. Also, check on your ship card purchases often.

If you eat at the Crown grill don't fill up on the appetizer because the steak is the only good food in the entire ship and they won't allow you to take leftovers which is insane since you pay an extra $30 for it

1) Biggest Tip: THE INTERNATIONAL CAFE!! There is never much of a line. So, either it is the biggest secret or people just don't like eating near the Piazza. They have a varied selection of food and treats with the offerings changing each day. They make good salads, soups, sandwiches, desserts and GREAT coffee! So, sit down, chow down and get down to "good people watching" at the Piazza. 2) The COFFEE CARD!! Not only will you get specialty coffees at a nice discount, but you will also get a better grade of freshly brewed coffee for free (not charged against your coffee card). 3) The Terrace Pool!! It is located on Deck 15 at the back of the ship, right outside the doors of either Planks or Steamers (both are part of the World Market Buffet during the day). It is a secluded area offering quiet ( nice getaway from those splashing kids) and great vistas (the view cannot be beaten!)
