We chose this cruise for the Itinerary, lots of interesting Ports of Call.
Embarkation was very smooth and easy.
We had opted for an inside cabin as this was a winter cruise and views of ports were not that important. Plus we had not long been back from a 28 day cruise through the Panama Canal on The Vision of the Seas where we had an inside cabin on the first leg then upgraded to a balcony for the more interesting segment and the cabins were fine.
The refurbishment of The Serenade includes making the ends of the beds curved.
The inside cabins have narrower beds, if you are tall, it is impossible to sleep without having your legs hanging over the end of the bed.
Had we known, we would have upgraded.
Makes for a very uncomfortable nights sleep.
We even separated the beds but that didn't help either.
I am 5'4" and slept like a baby but my husband who is 6' did not have one good nights sleep for the entire cruise.
If we want an inside cabin again it certainly won't be with RCI.
