Sail Date: Nov 2008

Friday November 21, 2008 Miami, Florida 25 46.83N 80 10.69W Course: - Speed: 0.0 Kts Docked along the starboard side of the ship Background I am a 42 y.o. male with a European/South American upbringing and have been living in the U.S. for a total of 28 years. I see myself as a person of refined tastes but do not necessarily live everyday life that way. I consider myself as someone who knows (both by upbringing and then personal experience) what "is good" and what "is not so good". As a consumer, I enjoy and seek out good value which does not mean cheap; there are times when a $50 entree represents better value than a $2.99 fast food meal.

My previous cruise resume reads: Renaissance Cruises (1x), Princess (5x), and Royal Caribbean (4x). So, this is my 11th cruise!!!

I booked this cruise only 3 weeks ago as I had to fly to Miami for personal reasons (needed to get some visas for my Panama Canal cruise in January). So, instead of taking Thu/Fri as vacation days I switched to Fri/Mon. This still gave me 2 days to get my personal stuff done (since we arrive early Monday) but also allowed me to take this cruise which will count as my 5th on Royal Caribbean. The next Royal Caribbean cruise, whenever that will be, I will be sailing as a Platinum member of Crown & Anchor which has some nifty ancillary benefits as a cruiser. My round trip from San Juan on American Airlines will also push me into their AAdvantage Gold status. So, all in all, a concentrated bit of 'business' all around.

Cabin Review

Cabin OV

Nice location. Close to and same deck as embarkation point. Far enough down the hallway to not have elevator noise but not too far away either. Cabin in great shape with just some normal but minor wear and tear. Tight storage but more than sufficient for 3 or 4 night cruises.
