Review summary
This was the first time we cruized. We loved the ship. The service was outstanding. Althought we would make different choices the next time we cruise we enjoyed the ship tremendouly. They keep the ship so clean. The food was out standing. The service impeckable. We felt like royalty. The rooms were bigger than expected. The balcony was roomy and was so beautiful when arriving or leaving port. Entertainment was great busy every day. Always something to do. Casino dealer were so friendly and helpful. Never stopped could not get enough.Ports of call
We did an excursion recommended on the ship. We went to Colony Park to have a barbaque and back in the sun. The Barbaque was horrible. The drinks too expensive. The chairs too close together. But when we discovered we coudl take a 2 min walk to be apart from so many people and bask and swin in peace we entered heaven. We loved the beach the water was like silk . it was so refreshing. If I went to Cozumel Mexico I like to go to 7 mile beach but where there is snorkling and more priviacy. Loved the ocean and sun.

Don't Miss: Dont do the Barbaque at the Colony

Hated it. We took a tour bus that dropped us off at a craft fair and my arm was pulled out of its socket. Every woman grabbed your arm and dragged you into thier hut. Every hut was the same but once you went in one your went in them all. Couldnt wait to leave. Jumped back on another bus to get away but ended up in the city just as bad. So run down. You Appreceiate America. Got back on the bus and went to Margaritaville. Drinks were good but service was horrible. Waited forever to order. Finally some dude with an attitude came over. We ordered appertizers. By the time it came her put the plates down no untensils, no plates not napkins and never came back. We found some untensils and napkins but never got plates. Husbands went to the bar to get drinks the entire time. Let 2$ tip. Never left so little in my life. Beautiful view.
Got back on Bus to go to Beach club. Had to pay $5 per person just to step in. We passed and got back on but to go to ship.
Don't Miss: do not do the craft fair or city. Start at the beach and go to Magaritas just to have a drink.. Ger a taxi and head back to ship

We just walked around and tried to bardered for silver and blankets. Not too many people bothering you to buy something. No kids tugging on your shirt. It was fun to shop and get deals on silver. We went to have a drink at Senior Frog. What a hoot. Get a shot it is worth pictures. Fun Fun Fun. The view of the ship from Senior Frogs was beautiful. i would have enjoyed swiming with dolfins or snorkling or stingrays but noone wanted to join me. Next time for sure. There is only so much shopping you can do.
Don't Miss: People tryiing to sell you something at every door. Not as bad as Jamacia

It was a rainy and windy day so snorkling was canceled. Went to Atocia Meuseum. Would have liked to see Hemingway or the Mile marker. Went to some bars Sloppy Joes, Margaritaville. Had fun drinking a bit. Key West is someplace I would like to spend more time in.
Don't Miss: Stayed in the Mesume too long should have ventured out more
