We decided at the last of Mar. to look into a "last minute" cruise. Researched several and decided to go for this 5 day Western on RCCL. Decided to go as inexpensive as we could so we took a inside gty. We were in fact pleasantly surprised to get a room midship on deck 9. The room is for sleeping and clothes changing. It was however quiet and verrrrry dark at night or day. This was our last time to do an inside at all.

I think the ship is due for an upgrade soon. Things just look a little worse for wear all around. We went to the MDR 1st night and left most of meal on plate. We left there and headed up to Windjammer for something to eat,and then ate all our meals there for the remainder of the trip.The only places to grab a quick snack included Sorrento's --pizza cheese or pepperoni , or snack deserts. The Windjammer, and one other Cafe on the Promanade that had sandwiches and served coffee. We went to the Beach in Haiti and rented a floating mat,for the day.

The sun was hot, the water was cool, & the beach was crowded. We saw things that cannot be unseen while there. Just because you can buy a thong bikini does not mean you should! ;-) We had planned to take advantage of the luggage Valet on debarkation day but we couldn't because our flight was at 10:25. The earliest flight to be able to do this was at 11:30,which made us have to scramble to get everything packed so that we could "self disembark" and carry our bags off. Because our tags to disembark were set for 9:30 which would have probably made us miss our flight.
