We flew into Miami from Boston the morning of our cruise. We landed at 1015, were out of the airport by 1045, and on the ship (at the front desk)by 1145. This whole process could not have been easier. Lets just say though that taking a taxi to the terminal is taking your life in your own hands not to mention your stomach.Once we arrived at the pier Customs and the rc checks were very smooth and all the computer work at the pier was very well organized, a great start to our vacation.     Our balcony stateroom located on the 6th floor was larger than we expected and we quickly made it have a homey feel.Omega from the phillippines was our room attendant and did a fabulous job keeping the place clean and tidy.  The towel animals at night were just a awesome touch that we looked forward to seeing every night. The balcony itself is a must have in my opionion. It provides a great area for privacy while enjoying the beauty of the vast ocean, or watching the ship come into dock at a port of call.People watching during tendering or pier boarding is also a good use for the balcony,espically when drunk women fllash heckling men while coming back on board 30 minutes late.     Food on this cruise overall was very good. Main dining room was used by us 5 times during our cruise, we had 2nd seating with 4 others at our table who i think will be our new friends for life.Anyways the food at diner was very good and ronilio our waiter went above and beyond to make sure everything was just perfect every night.However the portions were a little small so be sure to order 2 or more appitizers and 2 or more entrees, after all you already paid for it so enjoy.The wind jammer was visited by us only for a quick breakfast before port and for lunch on days at sea. The food here is just your average mass produced cafeteria food, it fills the tummy and not much else. Sorrentos pizza and johnny rockets were both very good for a late night snack or late lunch, nothing special just average tasting food, although the shakes at jr were ones of the best i have tasted.Which leads us to the specialty restaurants, portifinos and chops. Both were spectacular, two of the best restaurants we have ever been too, they belong in nyc or chicago not on a cruise ship. Both of these places are an incredible value at 20 or 25 dollars per person if you ate what we ate there at any big city well reviewed restaurant it would have cost you easily 200 bucks, so why not try both on your cruse.     Shows on liberty were very good. Encore the ice show however stand far and above the rest. It was amazing what those skaters did with such little room,amazing, truely a must see. We saw it twice.In the air was very good well directed show as was everafter, howver somewhere in time was a great big snooze fest so skip that. the love and marriage gameshow as well as the quest are also must see's. very funny and very much a good time.The lounge acts throughout the ship were very good although crowds there are very small so not much "vibe" was going on.The promenade shows were also very good very high energy feel good productions.    Now for my only 2 complaints about the ship.The casino is terrible, the dealers have NO clue on what they are doing. Their payouts  were always wrong,at least 6 times i had to correct the dealer that he didnt pay me enough on roulette ,and dozens of times they missed winning hands of poker players seated at their table.Their enforcement of casno rules is lacking and basicly people did whatever they wanted too within reason. My other complant is about the bingo hostess Anna Banana. She is super annoying. Granted her job is to be positive high energy fun person. However she takes it to a whole new level with her strong british accent. And when we found out  she was hosting a couple of dances on board we had to leave, we just couldnt take her mc skills.    Ports of calls went smoothly, rc gave out lots of info on all ports a what to do and how to do it was  very informative.After that you were on your own, but things went smoothly, although some patience is required when doing excersions.Just be careful when touring various islands, these countrys are very poor and pick at tourist to hustle upon.     All in all a dream come true cruise. A perfect vacation that i would reccommend to anyone.
