This review will be long so grab a cup of coffee or put on your favorite Caribbean music while reading!
First of all, I think reviews should focus on the positive/negative things that will give people an idea of how the cruise went. I really don't understand how complaining about worn carpet(I looked, but didn't see this) or chipped paint(so what) gives anyone an idea on what they have to look forward to on their cruise. I'm a "the cup is half full" kind of guy and try to keep things positive. After all, you are on vacation so I feel there is no need to sweat things I have no control over.
Since this is a review about the cruise, I'll put comments about our pre- cruise stay under home-ports and our shore excursions under each port as well.
Great location with very little noise. I did find loud creaks by the tv in rough seas though.
