We stayed in Miami for a few days before boarding the ship and really enjoyed the Wynwood area.

The embarkation was very smooth. However, once we boarded we saw construction crews and discovered that they were going to be working on the boat the entire week we were on it. Because of the construction, there was no water slide and the pool the slide should have fed into was not accessible. As a result of this, the Serenity Deck, which was supposed to be 18+, was a free for all. So, during our At Sea days when we were hoping to relax in peace and quiet, the Serenity Deck was full of kids.

When we were getting ready for bed the first evening, I was feeling uncomfortably warm. I tried adjusting the thermostat to no avail. We then called Guest Services to complain about our warm cabin and they sent someone to investigate our claim. The staff member arrived with a handheld temperature gauge indicating that our room was 75F. This person informed us that the accepted (by whom I’m not sure) range should be between 65-71F. However Sleep.org says the ideal temperature for sleeping is 60-67F https://sleep.org/articles/temperature-for-sleep/. I asked this person why the thermostat appeared to not work and he never gave me an answer. He left our cabin insinuating that he was going to somehow adjust our cabin temperature remotely but it took several hours for the effect to be felt inside our cabin.
