Sail Date: Apr 2013
Cabin: Mid-Ship Balcony

Our trip started in Miami at check in the lady said her system would not let us put one of our sons on a different credit card that is ours because it would link him to our cabin. We had no other choice so we had to do it, she did not even call mgt for help. We have always done this. We boarded, everything was ok, my 2 sons in a different cabin purchased the drink pkg for alcohol and we sailed away. The ship is beautiful, we had balcony cabins, very very very tiny compared to other ships. Balcony is large but needed that space inside. Awkward situation with toilet on one side of the door and shower on the other side with a curtain to block rest of the room. Would not do well with a friend traveling or new girlfriend or boyfriend. I had 4 family members in one of these cabins and they were very unhappy said the balcony is the only thing that saved them

. Never a place in the buffet to sit only ate there 2 times. Most of the time we ate breakfast and lunch at O'Sheehans, loved it one side is dining, the other side is bar, pool table, games but you can order some of the food there. Bowling alley on the dining side. Pool tables and bowling is at a fee.Excellent food and service at this place. Buffet people are not friendly and do not help you find a seat and do not clean tables very fast for this amt of people.Club Bliss is used for other things before 11pm very small not much seating. Spice H20 is club on the back of the ship, they raise a dance floor over the pool, very small area for this many people, for the white hot party there were probably 2000 people there you could not move much less dance. Not a lot of wait staff up there either but friendly. Nice quiet place to be during the day with food and drinks and adult only pool. Casino is set up strange it is scattered everywhere it seems, a big shopping area and a lot of wasted space back in a lobby area at Spice. Strange to have the buffet on the front you can not get up front to take good photos. Staff and passengers are quite snobby on here, Staff mostly is rude and quiet not friendly at all, only a few. Cabin steward for 10168 was terrible. CHECK you mini bar they charged us $57.00 wrong gave a credit then it showed back up on the bill when we left. Bottles of water are getting smaller for more money buy in bulk when you board or order it before for the week a lot cheaper.

The Cirque Dream Dinner is a MUST it was the best I have every seen and excellent food also.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Balcony

Cabin BB

Very tiny, tiny, tiny. We could not sit on sofa and somebody walk by you. Awkward situation with toilet and shower being open. Been married 29 yrs and we did things together we never have with the bathroom situation. Very awkward with friends, brothers, sisters, new boyfriend or girlfriend traveling together. There is a curtain to seperate it from the bed area but there is nowhere to lay your clothing to get dressed. If you seperate the beds to 2 twins you have 3 inches in between them. Balcony is big but you really needed that space in the cabin. Most people do not spend much time here and believe me you will not want to very small, Not good at all for 4 people had family in one and they were not happy.
