We needed a short getaway and this one fit the bill! What a beautiful ship! I will not lie I was not expecting much since this ship is not the newest and biggest in the Royal fleet. I was blown away by how pretty this ship is and how much we enjoyed every minute. The crew was friendly and smiling. Jerome the cruise director had a lot of energy and his crew that works with him put a lot of heart in to making sure everyone had a good time. We never made the main dining room this time. Instead we did the BOGO special for the first two nights and had dinner in Chops and Giovanni's. It was all delicious. The rest of the week we did something totally new for us and just enjoyed the Windjammer. The food was not as varied as the dining room but we certainly never went hungry.

The entertainment on this cruise was some of the best we have seen in several cruises. We made nearly all the shows and the onboard cast were very good. No screeching...and really strong dancers. There was enough variety to keep it interesting too, with jugglers, comedians, rock music and dancing reviews.

Did the Hop on Hop off bus in Key West then walked down Duval street enjoying the artists and the key lime pie. :-) Cozumel we grabbed an excursion off the ship to the Club Cozumel Caribe resort on the north side of the island. It was beautiful and relaxing with a beach, chairs, palapa and pool for 30.00 including the ride there and back.

Cabin Review

Large Ocean View Stateroom

Cabin H

Surprising how nice it was. Larger than expected. I will say the beds are very hard so if that is a problem you may want to invest in one of those light weight carry pads for the bed.

Did our own tour here just grabbed someone at the end of the pier selling a day at a local beach. It was very nice.
