I was disappointed in this cruise. The most prevalent issue was the lack of choices in most things. There were few soda choices: orange, coke, diet coke, sprite. There were very few vegetables offered at dinner or lunch, other than a salad, which also didn't offer a full salad bar. The lunches in the Windjammer Cafe seemed to be the same every day with a few odd changes here and there. The dining room menus were short, especially breakfast. The pool deck area consisted of Easy Listening music the entire time. Drinks were different prices at different bars. I think they were taking it upon themselves to use premium liquor or not. They were slow or not around to clear tables in the WIndjammer Cafe so that people had a place to eat. Usually people were clearing their own tables. The activities were scheduled daily, but not multiple activities.

Cabin Review

Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin D3

Just a typical balcony stateroom, where the couch folds out to a queen bed as well since we had a tween traveling with us.

Port Reviews

Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)

We stayed in the Marriott's SpringHill Suites. They were very nice. There was a Kmart across the road, so we were able to walk over and purchase our bottled water.

Cozumel

This is where you can buy all of the souvenirs you want for cheap. Watch the jewelry though. Some of it isn't real, so if you can't tell the difference (and I can't ), then buy that here.
