First time on a ship ...Ship was very big it was great to have maps to find your way around. Once on ship we just stood there like dummies had no clue we could roam around but finally heard people talking about going top decks so we followed them. We got some drinks and food and signed up for the soda pass. We got our room at 1 pm sharp so got unpacked and sat on our balcony taking it all in the room was very clean and roomie. We where put on the wrong dinning time so missed the first night there for we missed alot of info like the color of our team ( Red White or Blue) Next evening they did put us back to the time we asked for at the time of booking. First night was long and being lost on this ship but had so much fun being lost. We did go to the welcome show the first night that was some help and a must if your a first timer doing this. The rooms and hall ways where always so quiet 24/7 on all 7 days of this trip. We where 5 rooms from the laundry area and never heard a sound from this area. The entertainment was ok it's not las vegas but ok, pool games where fun to watch god alot of laughs with a few of these, the casino area was great but the guy playing the music was not to great. They has alittle of everything to play from penny slots to all the table games. We went on March 25th 07 so they has the OPC poker tour which was held in a different area of ship this was fun hubby won too !!! Ports... Jamaica was so wonderful we took the jeep tour up in the jungles and mountains our guide was so much fun and really enjoyed the punch and jerk we had. I would go back again just to see more of this island it's very pretty once you get out of the city. Grand Cays we went to the 7 mile beach half day we thought it would be more it was kind of a let down. we ended up at the snack bar and got 2 drinks hot dog and burger it cost us 50.00 EKK. We went back to port hubby ended up back on the ship to play poker at noon I ended up looking around at store and Jimmy Buffets bar (?) ended back on ship like 2 pm took a nap. If I go back I will do something different it was not the best stop of this cruise for us and I am sure there is better things to do if we go back. Cozumel what a beautiful place the water there is so clear in port you could see 100 ft or more just beautiful. We took the 7 hour tour to Tulum Ruins this was so beautiful and breath taking. It was 99.00 per person and well worth every penny. I would go back and once there go walking around on my own being I did the tour guide this last trip. The buses where just like greyhound buses plenty of room and A/C. They stop at this rest stop which you can also go shopping be careful on pricing and you can talk them down on price too. Night life we did check out all the bars after dinner but the dance clubs opened around 10 pm by then we where so tired we did not feel like dancing I wish they opened earlier. Pool area plenty of space we never had a hard time finding a spot to kick our feet up and swim. Bars our all time fav drink is " Kiss on the lips" we are totally hooked on this drink yum yum !! save the fancy glass and ask for refills this give you discounts this way. Food we went to the "Point" it was 25.00 per person 7 course meal and very fancy top service. On main land it would be about 150.00 or more for one person check it out it was great. Rest of dinning on ship was good from pizza to burgers to dinning room. The Chocolate bar is where i had to force my self to stay away from it was awesome. The only thing that I really felt could be in proved would be a few thousand people trying to get of the ship on different ports for tours. If it was set up like how we got off in Galveston once back in port it would have been much better.

I will do this same trip again it was very nice and well worth the extra $$ spent for a balcony too.
