After scheduling and rescheduling this cruise 3 times, it was so amazing to finally make it to the ship! We were not disappointed with anything! As much hassle as we had getting to the cruise, I thought for sure my husband would say we are never doing a cruise again...BUT...he enjoyed it so much that he would actually consider doing another one!!! YAY!!!

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
There were hardly ever any lines for anything! The main dining room was great! Our head waiter was so attentive! We enjoyed the buffet for breakfast and lunch, only going there one evening for dinner...there were no lines or waiting for a table! The only longer wait time we had was when we went to the El Loco taco place for lunch, but that was only one time. We tried the Portside BBQ one evening for dinner and you get a LOT of great food there!
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
We enjoyed the pool, hot tubs, water and dry slides, rock climbing (although the handles got really hot!)
Entertainment
5 out of 5
We thoroughly enjoyed the Aqua80's show!! It was so good we saw it in full 2 times (we saw the first 15 minutes a 3rd time but the show was stopped for safety reasons).
We saw about 1 hour of the CATS production, then the show was stopped for a medical reason. We did not go back another time to finish the show. The performers were great, but the show story line was very hard to follow.
We saw the Frozen in Time ice show and that was really good!
We saw the guitar player in the Globe and Atlas bar, the piano player in the Schooner bar, and the band No Quarter-Led Zepplin tribute band and they were all fantastic!!
We saw the shorter/smaller comedy show in Blaze, but were not that impressed with them.
Children's Programs
We did not have any children with us.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Lawrence was our head waiter in the main dining room, with his assistant AJ...they were both amazing!
Shawn was our room steward and he was so nice! He took excellent care of our room and needs! He was so personable and we visited with him several times throughout the week.
The bar tenders were great and definitely did not skimp on the amount of alcohol they put in your drinks. ; )
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Everything was very clean!! The ship is a little dated, but that is to be expected when the ship is over 10 years old.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The size was excellent, we had plenty of space for all of our items and then some! The room was very clean! We absolutely loved this room!
Ship tip
Do not decorate your cabin door, we had someone take our personalized poster off our door. : (
We did not do a RCI excursion, but we stayed in Miami for 2 days after the completion of our cruise. We enjoyed going to Miami Beach/South Beach, walking up Ocean Drive, etc.
This was probably our FAVORITE day! We loved the snorkeling were we saw a large stingray, lots of different fish (some were really big!), the sand was soft and wonderful, the colors of the water were the prettiest blue!
We went on a RCI sponsored snorkeling/beach excursion that we really enjoyed! We saw sea turtles, a stingray, lots of different fish, and a conch shell walking along the ocean floor!
We did not do an excursion, we just walked from the port to the beach. We spent the whole day on the beach, rented a couple chairs and umbrella. We went in the water and snorkeled. We did some shopping in the stores along the main road behind the beach.
