Ship Size
This was our first trip on a “big ship” and I enjoyed it, but I think I prefer a smaller ship. We had a really great time, but embarkation and debarkation in Miami and the ports was a lot more difficult. If we hadn’t been Haven passengers, it would have been a huge headache. Also, there were so many people that you had to make reservations for most of the entertainment ahead of time – most “headliner” shows filled up early. Additionally, the ship was so large it took us a couple of days to find everything and I think we really didn't have time to enjoy it all the ship offered.

Cabin H6
It was wonderful - see the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efDfg1Z1OfQ
The Haven
We really used “The Haven” amenities a lot and enjoyed them. On this ship, it was well worth the money. I would have had a great time regardless, but my DH doesn’t like crowds much and lines make him really crabby, so it made vacation MUCH better for him. If you decide to upgrade, research what they will do for you and take advantage of it. Eat in the restaurant ( outstanding food and service with an upgraded menu), use the priority embarkation and debarkation, etc ... (Virginia, the concierge was wonderful), watch the free movies, and lounge on the sundecks/pools.
Port Reviews
Miami
Good Parking, but expensive. POM had long embarkation and debarkation lines.
Cozumel
We slept in and had breakfast in the Haven before leaving. All the people on tours left earlier, so there was no wait to leave. We walked around near port and stopped in a bar across from the dock (Mary Janes), so DH could get his favorite Dos Equis Dark, DD could get a fancy frozen drink and we all could use the Wifi. We picked up some souvenirs and went back to the ship.
