My husband and I (ages 43 and 38) needed to get away for a few days...ALONE!!! Since we only live 5 hours away from Pt. Canaveral, we drove down that morning. Embarkation was very simple and quick. We arrived about 11:45 and were on the ship by 12:30. This included parking, going through port authority, checking our luggage in with porters, and getting on the ship.

The first night was rough for me. I tried to wear the pressure point bracelets. They did work to a certain extent, but when we picked up speed, I became very queasy. I spent the first night in my room. My husband ordered some dramamine from room service and they delivered it quickly, but I was so queasy that it just made me sleep. Next time I will know to take the pills BEFORE I get on the ship. The room location was perfect. We heard no noise anytime during the cruise and we were in our room at different times of the day either napping or changing clothes or just watching a movie.

The next morning, I popped out of bed and was ready to go. The room was just right. I did not expect it to be as large as a hotel room and it wasn't. But it was still large enough for my husband and me. If I had more than 2 people in my room, I would have felt cramped. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the bathroom. The shower was wonderful. So much water pressure and hot water. We brought an air freshener, but we really didn't need it. The bathroom never smelled. There was plenty of room to hide our suitcases in the closets and plenty of drawer space for my stuff. My husband is a typical male and keeps his shorts, T-shirts, etc. in the suitcase. Plenty of room to hang our formal wear and my dresses. The bed was so comfortable!!! I am usually disappointed by the mattress or the pillows and I was pleased by both. The comforter was soooooo comfy! I loved the towel animals that our steward, Chiron, left for us each night (except the 1st because I was occupying the bed :-) Read more
