As I sat down to look at my cruise bill after returning from our vacation to the Caribbean, I noticed some problems with my bill. I wish now that I had taken the time to examine it after it was delivered to our outside mail holder before we left the ship. I noticed my husband was charged for 2 drinks in the Hat Trick Bar casino at 4:48 PM and again at 4:50 PM I asked him about these charges and he said that no one came by that often, much less serving him that quickly. If the tickets were just turned in at this time, they should have been recorded as he was served. I don't know if he was actually given the drinks that he paid for! Anyway, just be aware, and keep all your receipts!!

The cruise, for the most part, was enjoyable. We went up to the Serenity Deck for adults only to look around and lounge for awhile. I was surprised to see the water slide right next to this area. So, you can imagine the serenity that we had while there.

Our room was on deck six at the front of the ship. I was concerned that it might be too rough, but since we had no stormy weather, I cannot say if it would be rough or not. It is noisy when the ship is docking. The view out the window is said to be obstructive, but we had no trouble seeing the water and had the same view that is shown on the ship's channel to view the water ahead of the ship. There is a walkway that is accessible from doors at each end of the hallway and benches to sit on if you would like to go outside. It was quite peaceful with only a few people wandering by.

Cabin Review

Ocean View

Cabin 6A

Room 6204 is at the front of the ship with an obstructed view. I felt the view was adequate. We could see the water as the ship headed out into the ocean. The sea was quite calm during our cruise, so I don't know if a stormy sea might make a difference in the calmness of this room. There is a walkway outside the window, so for privacy, keep the curtains closed. There were not that many people that ventured out to this walkway. It is not a thruway, and only goes in front of the rooms at the front of the ship on this deck. The room space is adequate and we could get all of clothes in the closet. The shower is small and water kept running out on to the floor during a shower. I placed a rolled up towel along side the shower to catch the overflow of water. It seemed to be slow to drain. It was very quiet in this part of the ship. Only when the ship was docking did it make a very loud noise. I never heard any other noise from the public parts of the ship.
