Panoramic ocean view - amazing - we are doing same cruise in January and tried switching from our balcony to same room but not available.

First time for Bonaire and pleasantly surprised. Had a great cab driver who showed us around and dropped us off at Sorbonne (sp?) beach on lac bay. Great place to watch the wind surfers and have a beer at jibe city. Will head straight there in January.
