I booked this cruise about 18 months prior to sailing so we've read a multitude of trip reports prior to cruising. My wife and I travel two or three times a year and understand the reason many write reports is to complain about one thing or another. Over and over again we're read trip reports about cruises and resorts and wonder if these people were at the same place we were as our experiences were way different. I have to admit I was apprehensive about travelling on the POA based on a lot of the reports.

Any apprehensions were immediately erased. We arrived at the cruise terminal at 11:45am. There was no line for the security check of bags, we then proceeded to the ticket counter and was greated promptly by an agent. After processing we were escorted to the suite guest waiting room where we met our concierge (James) and butler (George). After a brief wait for others and a briefing on our meal options, we were escorted to Cagney's for lunch.

At about 1pm an announcement advised that the rooms on our floor (12th) were ready. After lunch we proceeded to the room. After about 10 minutes the room steward (Jonathan) came to our room and introduced himself and gave us his ship phone number if there was anything else we needed during his duty hours. Throughout the week we were always greeted by name by Jonathan in an extremely cheerful manner. Our room was spotless upon arrival and continued that way the entire cruise. There were always clean (and plentiful) towels and the bed was very comfortable.

Cabin Review

Penthouse with Large Balcony

Cabin SE

Beautiful, larger penthouse category room. Large balcony with two cushioned wicker loungers and a wicker table with four chairs for dining. On the 12th deck just down the hall from the upper pool deck and bar. At this bar they serve a lunch buffet - you can bring the food to your private balcony to stay away from the masses. The room is also at the end of the hall, no foot traffic passing by - very quiet!
