Introduction

DW and I were scheduled for the Mexican Itinerary that was canceled due to the swine flu outbreak. At first, we were wary about traveling to Canada for our first cruise and canceled our cruise. However, when the price dropped so dramatically that we were able to book a Spa Balcony Cabin (Spa Level) for the same price as an ocean view (which was still about 50% less than our originally booked inside Cabin!), we decided to take a gamble and book the entire family. The booking considered of myself, DW, and two sons (ages 5 and 8). Although we travel frequently and extensively, I was very apprehensive about cruising for multiple reasons, not the least of which:  1) I'm not crazy about the idea of motion sickness and rough seas. 2) I actually like spending time in the places I visit.

 I've heard so many wonderful things about cruising, and really wanted to enjoy the experience, but I can honestly only give this cruise a mixed review in comparison with other trips I have taken.

Cabin Review

Cabin 9s

1102- Spa balcony If you look at the floor-plans, the room is located right next to a big "empty space". This empty space is the air conditioning equipment. I didn't find the white noise to be distracting at all...but some light sleepers might have a problem with it. The room was very spacious...we had 4 people in there...and there was enough storage space for all of our clothes and belongings.
