We sailed on the POA 05/13/06. This was our first cruise so we didn't really know what to expect. After reading all the reviews before hand I had a pretty good idea of what we might expect. We are not ones to want to be pampered or bothered all the time. We enjoyed the freestyle cruising. We heard other people complaining about small things that wouldn't have bothered us at all. Most of these people had been on other cruises and were comparing them to this cruise. These people seemed a little too high classed for us. We are laid back and would rather do our own thing when and where we want.

This was an excellent cruise to see the islands. Our room was always made up in the mornings and turned down at night. Our cabin boy was very polite and friendly. We left him a tip everyday and gave him extra when we left. Make sure to use the dial outside your door to make request for service. Our cabin boy was Melvin. Great young man.

There was plenty of room for the two of us in our cabin. The bed was huge and very comfortable. Out balcony was nice size. There were 2 chairs a table and lounge chair. Bathroom was small, but you are in there for a very short time. I couldn't believe the amount of storage in the room as well. Our cabin worked out great for us. Read more
