First time cruisers - on our honeymoon - focus of review is on board as no excursions were purchased. (Advice and info for couples of a low to mid value spending - our budget was $1000 total excluding the holiday cost)
Varied quality ENTERTAINMENT and ACTIVITIES daily on board for all ages
Scheduled shows and excursions can be booked via the TV in your room - in my opinion this was the quickest and most effective method of planning as you could browse at your leisure and see everything that you had purchased and planned in comfort.
Room 8208 (floor 8, Red side even)
Eugene was our friendly and helpful cabin staff member.
* Location: Far back end of the ship on the left hand side, 8th floor
* size ample for two people - would be a squeeze for any more
* Decent wardrobe space
* TV and remote
* Telephone (info on phone in Spanish)
* Different lighting in room which was great for different times of the day and mood setting - however, the blue lamp light switches and phone had to be manually covered at night for a darkened room
* Many areas for storage in the room
* Mini bar at a cost per item (obtain a key from cabin staff)
* Safe in room
* Balcony overlooking ocean/ports
* Surprisingly quiet considering we were informed by the travel agents that the engines are loud on the lower decks
* Breakfast arrived early twice in four days that we ordered it waking my partner and I up
* The room was made up and checked regularly
Overall we were pretty happy with our room. We paid $1300pp
