Jamie's Italian

Definitely worth the extra fee. Excellent pasta and salmon and probably the best cheesecake I’ve ever had.

Cabin / Stateroom

Perfect location midship. Easy access to the MDT and the Windjammer. The only negative is that there is a pull down bunk bed that moves around and makes noise if the ship is rocking. I spoke to maintenance and they did nothing, but once I went to guest services, the problem was addressed.

Ship tip

The Windjammer was a madhouse on embarkation day. I ended up having lunch at Jamie’s. For future cruises, I’ll probably make a lunch reservation for a specialty restaurant for embarkation day.

I did the Taste of Bermuda excursion through Shipmate. I really wanted to love Bermuda, but I didn’t find it that interesting.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5

Best day of the cruise for me! Even though there were two ships there, it was not crowded. I didn’t get off the ship until after 10:00. I found a great chair and umbrella on South Beach and had a great day relaxing. Glad I cancelled the $200 Beach Club pass.
