We booked a beautiful Aft Corner cabin that had a lot of balcony. We had 6 chairs, 2 tables, and one lounger. It was like having three balconies. The room was a nice size but not a lot of drawer space. Two normal size drawers, one skinny drawer, and one half drawer because the other half had the hair drier installed in it. I bring clothes on the skinny hangers and it's a good thing because I hung everything that could hang. There two closets for hanging, one closet with shelves.
There really was no place to put our luggage except to tuck them into the corners but still in view.. There is only one electric outlet on the desk that we rotated charging our electronics on - it would have been nice to have a splitter or power strip.
Muster - Arrived early to muster G and they took us inside, in a comfortable bar to with chairs and tables, as well as bar stools. It was nice! It filled up inside they started lining them up outside. It seemed to be an especially long muster so it was nice to be inside. There is a sewer odor out where the muster was held so it was really good to be inside.

Port Reviews
Amber Cove (Puerto Plata)
Tip Top Catamaran two reef snorkel. Beautiful!!! Fun, danced the whole way back with my husband and the crew. My only concern is that we paid $40 for a video of the trip, they gave us a memory stick with some videos that were not about our trip, and our trips videos don't play. I emailed them as soon as we got home hoping they would email me the links. I got an email back a week later saying they would look into it. I sure would love to have the video, it was a great day. Sadly, it looks like I paid for a few snap shots without us in them, and worthless "videos". My sister, who was along for the excursion, also couldn't get them to open on her tablet or laptop.
Grand Turk
Low rating just for this trip. This was our third trip to Grand Turk, loved it every time but this trip. Once before we grabbed chairs and an umbrella by the beach, once we rode horses. I wouldn't do that again, it's so hot and the horses seem to be retirees - well cared for and clean, but not right for carrying fat Americans.
This time there wasn't enough chairs, it was brutally hot, we went right back on board. Enjoyed having the Serenity to ourselves. We stopped by the bar, ordered 2 Savignion Blancs and asked them send 2 more in 15 minutes. Perfect!
Port Canaveral (Orlando)
Boarding was great! We parked off property by the Raddison for half the price, the dropped us off and drove us back after. Very convenient and saved about half price.
St. Thomas
Ziplined thru the cruiseline. It was beautiful, St Thomas always is.
