This was a six days Western Caribbean Cruise, with stops at Key West, Grand Cayman and Ocho Rios (Jamaica).

I'll start with the embarkation - Which was a breeze. We arrived at the port at 12:30. And it took us exactly 18 minutes from the moment the taxi dropped us off to the moment we were on the ship (photo-op time included). And that's regular boarding time. We are not Platinum members, nor did we buy the faster to the fun program.

After boarding the ship we went straight to booking the Behind the Fun tours. It is not cheap, 95 USD per person. However it is a very enjoyable tour. It is held on the second sea day. It's about 3 hours long, and you get to visit all parts of the ship, including he bridge and a very informative yet entertaining talk with the captain. You also get lots of stuff - a hat, a curved soap, chocolate covered strawberries, a photo with the captain, etc.

Although near the elevators, and just above the gangway, the room was quiet. It had lots of space, and it was very clean. It's certainly more than worth the money, a wonderful choice.
