Do not pay for an obstructed view room it is a waste of money. Your view will be of the side of an orange and white lifeboat. And your full sized door will only open 6 inches before it hits the bed. Only one person at a time will be able to wedge themselves in between the door and the rail to look down at a sliver of ocean rushing past. Obstructed view means NO VEIW. the side of an orange and white lifeboat in need of painting which they did while we were in the room. I found it hard to enjoy the smell of oil based paint. There is also a lot of down time where there are no activities planed and the dinning options are limited to sandwiches or pizza just when your getting back for a shore excursion that did not include a snack. Often if and when there are activities taking place you have to rush form one to the other. And expect to pay big to participate. Don't expect to shop till you drop either there are only two stores on board. The pools close early so no late night swims to work off that extra helping of cake.

Best use of your time here is to take as many shore excursions as you can afford, use the ship for breakfast, dinner and sleep. Catch an occasional show as these repeat several times. Fitness center has the best views and is very, very clean. There are no showers here so if steam or sauna you will have to trot back to your room to freshen up. Not a big deal.

And in isla Rotan our guide Omar for the Snuba activity was a great kid who made sure we were all having a good time. And our head waiter at truffles Jose was out standing he remembered every ones preferences for drinks and how we liked our food prepared and he always remembered that the kids wanted 2 scoops of ice cream. He even thought to bring foot stool over for my mother when she said the chairs were too high to be comfortable. Read more
