Serenade of the Seas Review

Additional details
ABOUT US: Mom is a confessed cruise addict. I was cruising with my 22-year-old daughter, escaping the New England winter for a week in the southern Caribbean. My daughter has now developed such an addiction, she is seriously considering applying for a job with the cruise line so she can live at sea!
ARRIVAL IN SAN JUAN: We flew non-stop from Boston to San Juan the morning of the cruise. We were fortunate with the Boston weather and actually arrived a little ahead of schedule.
It was gray and rainy in San Juan upon our arrival and we quickly learned the weather had been that way for several days. We were a little concerned about what that meant for our first stop in St. Thomas the following day.
Cabin Review
We were glad we chose a location between the two elevators. I did so to avoid noisy people getting on and off the elevators, but it worked to our advantage by keeping us a distance away from the engine room. Avoid cabins on deck 3 located directly mid-ship by the stairs. I understand it's VERY noisy there. Our cabin was smaller than ones I've had on Voyager Class ships, but adequate for two women who need to primp with hair and make-up every morning. The beds were very comfortable and the window plenty large. There is a LOT of storage space - we both unpacked our suitcases and we packed to the limit! The shower, while small, has a shower head with adjustable height which can also be hand held. The water pressure is great and we always had plenty of hot water.
