This was our first cruise. My wife and I, along with 1200 Harley Davidson enthusiasts, joined together as Hogs on the High Seas. Because of the size of our group, we were allowed to have "leather" nights on formal evenings and wore our biker attire the rest of the time. I did get a couple of down the nose looks from a few people on the first formal evening, but for the most part, everyone on board seemed to enjoy our presence and activities.
Our opinion is this is the greatest vacation we have ever taken. The ship is a marvel. We spent some time watching the ship's TV as they explained the building process and what actually goes on in the inner workings. It is unbelievable. The biggest cruise ship in the world, until the Freedom of the Seas is launched.
Our first stop at Labadee was great. Our group is not the water sport types, so the beach chairs and the rum were all we needed after dipping our feet in the ocean.
