Additional details
This was my first cruise so I have nothing else to compare it to, but it was AWESOME!!!!
We sailed out of NY and parked at the cruise terminal. Embarkation was fast and painless. We arrived at thr cruise terminal at11:30am and were in our room at 12:25pm. Our luggage arrived by 3pm.
Dining- We did not purchase the dining package but we enjoyed all of our meals at the buffets and MDRs. Service was a bit slower at the Grand Pacific...the nights we ate there usually took about 2 hrs,but it was well worth the wait. On sea days the grills were on the pool deck and the chicken, rice, and corn on the cob was excellent. The washy washy girls are awesome especially Raelyn who greeted us with her beautiful smile every morning!
Cabin Review
Oceanview Picture Window
There were 4 of us and although it was small there was plenty of storage space and the suitcases fit under the bed. The beds were surprisingly comfortable and we always had plenty of clean towels.
Port Reviews
Port Canaveral (Orlando)
Not enough time to do anything
Great Stirrup Cay
The highlight of our trip. I recommend going to the Lagoon. It is the last stop on the tram and is not crowded at all. The hàd excellent food provided by the ship and flushing toilet. AWESOME!!!!
