Sail Date: Jan 2009

Saturday, March 24, 2009 Embarkation Day We arrived at the Pier around noon and within an hour, we were in our room and ready for our first cocktail. I thought the check-in process was really good. As soon as we got on board, we signed up for the Ultimate Ship Tour which would cost $150/person. More to come later in my review of this great tour. Our state room was on the Baja Deck. After sailing twice in mini-suites, you begin to miss the extra large bathroom and state room, but overall the state room was very comfortable. Extra points for the large closet they provide.

Sunday, March 25, 2009 Day At Sea Our first day at sea started off sunny, with clouds/rain moving in around mid afternoon. But by then I had already had enough sun. The gym was nice, but if your tall, your head might be hitting the ceiling if you use some of the cardio equipment. We also signed up for the use of the Lotus Spa which is underneath the gym. It cost $99/person or $150/couple. Everyday we used the Spa. It was a nice retreat mid-afternoon to go relax and take in the aroma therapy steam room. Tonight is also Formal Night. Being that the ship was sold out, it made for it being very crowded around all the photo stations. Tonight was also one of the big stage production in the Princess Theatre. We took in the late show and I would say it was one of the better shows that I have seen on a cruise ship.

Monday, March 26, 2009 Ocho Rios, Jamaica We opted for no excursion here. We did leave the ship and do some shopping at the new shopping area they have built and took in a few drinks at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville. Overall the new shopping area was very nice compared to when I was here before.
