We sailed on 06/23/07. I have been on other cruises. My cousin was a first time cruiser. The ship was beautiful, a bit over the top in decor, but not offensive in anyway. We arrived in the Port of Tampa at about 1:00 a.m., we were promptly checked in give our Sign and Sail cards and a boarding number. We waited less than 30 minutes and we were on board. We went to the Lido Deck and had lunch. We then walked around the ship to scope out the arrangement. We got in our cabin at 1:30 p.m. and found that we had the first of our four suitcases. We put things away, and went back to running around on the ship. We went out and took some pre-trip photos, and had to go back to the cabin for the famous MUSTER DRILL. The ship set sail right on time. By which time we had all of our luggage and had put everything away. We hung out on our balcony to see Port of Tampa off. This was my first balcony, what a cool thing. We had early dining, Russell and Panada were our servers, and they Rocked. We had the best cruise service I have ever had. They anticipated every want and even some we did not know we had. The coolest thing...I got the recipe for the Warm Chocolate Melting Cake, of course it makes 1000 portions (I'm having a really big party). Speaking of food, we went to the Supper club, wow. I have dined at many high end fine dining restaurants, the supper club rivals the best of them. We did have some rain in the afternoon of Grand Cayman, after we did our excursions. Cozumel was great. Belize many things rained out. Costa Maya, go to Majahual, and the Cat's Meow, visit Barbara from Canada. She would love some Sharp Cheddar Cheese, and also Advantix and Frontline, she helps care for a bunch of animals. On the ship Chris the cruise director was a blast. Erin our Super Shopper was great and our karaoke queen, Sonja was the best. The shows were great. The ventriloquist was a riot, and the over 18 show was even funnier. The casino was a great time, (I even won a slot tournament), which meat I got a coveted Gold Plastic Ship on a Stick. I will definitely go on more cruises, and would even like to go on this ship again.
