I want to start off by saying that I love RCI and overall this cruise was wonderful.

From the beginning my husband and I noticed that the Ft. Lauderdale port was much easier and faster then the Miami port. We boarded early and was able to gain access to our room by 1 PM. Our cruise critic roll call group decided to meet early that day by the pool and I highly suggest that to other groups. We had a wonderful group of people that made all the difference in the world to enjoying this cruise. As soon as the ship left the port we felt the ship rock and it continued until we docked at the ports and started all over again. Because this is a smaller ship you will feel the movement. We thought that rocking was a little annoying and gave us headaches but that is it. You do tend to ignore it (depending where you are on the ship).

We also thought that our room was slightly smaller then our room on the Voyager (same class) - we could be wrong but we remember having a couch in our room on the Voyager and only had a chair in this room. No biggie but we did notice it. The showers were almost impossible to shave in. Ladies - you will find yourself trying everything to find a comfortable position but you won't find it. Not a huge deal but a minor annoyance.
