8 days and nights of pampering myself and my 2 sisters, 4 port stops (I have not been to 3 of them before this cruise) If you speak Spanish, San Juan would be more enjoyable. We stopped at Senor Frogs and enjoyed the entertainment there and drinks. St. Maartin, St. Kitts and Labadee were beautiful. We had our own floats to blow up and float around on. Deflated it and used it again on the next beach the following day. I left it there afterwards. The weather was perfect for us.

We paid $30 for the BOGO to try 2 of the restaurants (came to $15 for each place) but you had to use them on 1st and 2nd night (formal night) for dinner. We knew there was going to be another formal night so that was ok with us. There was no place to say which one you wanted to go to and what time but we were told a card would be in your room upon arrival to let you know that info. If you were not ok with the schedule set up, you could go and have it changed. Ok, we would do that if needed. There was no card in our room about the assigned time or place so we called Sabor ourselves and made a reservation for that night. Sabor's food and drink were wonderful. The choices were not a lot but that helps make your decision easier. You ordered from the regular dinner menu an appetizer, entree and dessert. We each had a Grand Margarita which was delicious like we had read about on cruise critic. Well worth the visit. We were talked into paying another $30 to learn how to make guacamole from scratch, the tool needed given to us to keep,a yummy lunch and nonstop margaritas which they explained how to make them too.. I had 3 drinks in front of me at all times :) This was also great and well worth it. A print out of the recipes was given to each of us to take home. The 2nd night we wanted to eat at Chops Grille but they didn't have an opening for us until very late so the Manager told us to come on the 3rd night instead for the same deal. The food was excellent from the appetizer, to the entree to some desserts taken back to the room since we were so stuffed from eating already. Another place well worth the extra money. Dessert was still delicious the following day.

They offered on day 7, $75 gets you 10 drinks (that would come to $7.50 for each drink but you could get anything from anywhere you wanted on the ship). I was able to get several Long Island Iced Teas for myself and my sisters which are our drink of choice most of the times on the ship. There was no problem getting 3 drinks at one time as they said on the punch card, you could share with your family/friends.

Cabin Review

Cabin Interior cabin

Deck 10 - quiet area/floor- inside room

No one on either side of our room which is why we selected this room. You don't have to deal with yelling/crying/banging and we have had that before on other cruises.
