This was the first cruise that me and wife had taken. We took a cruise to the Bahamas, St. Thomas, and St. Martin for 7 nights. Getting on the ship was not bad all; it seemed like it was an easy process. Getting off the ship was little hectic, but I think that will be the case for any cruise you take.

We stayed in a Mini-Suite which had a balcony with mini-bar and full bath. In my opinion we paid about $200 extra for a mini-suite when we could have just gone with a regular balcony cabin. That extra money we spent would have saved us money on the shore excursions. Getting a balcony was great because you get to see the islands and ports of call from a distance and get to see great views. I would be fine with getting just a simple indoor room, since you will not spend that much time in your cabin anyway. Save all the money you can for a chance to do some nice excursions on your trip.

The food for the buffet was not bad, but not great. Breakfast was the best meal of the day. We ate at Cagney's two nights on the ship which is a specialty restaurant that is a nice steakhouse. Had the best filet there, and the best waiter on the ship named Anil. The Italian restaurant was good, but the French restaurant was not great. Food there was good but portions were so small that I had to get food after at the buffet. Had many bars for those who enjoy the night life; as well as many night life events. In one bar call O'Sheeans they had a big screen TV that took up a two story wall that broadcasting all the NFL games and sports games.
