I was a little anxious about my first time cruise after reading some of the reviews here. I am VERY picky about where I stay on vacation. I can be a little high maintenance. Our room was very small but very clean. And seriously we really did not spend much time in our room at all. We boarded quickly. We were greeted by a VERY enthusiastic crew with Caribbean music playing. Make sure you pack your bathing suit and/or a change of clothes and any toiletries you need because you will wait anywhere from 2-5 hours for your suitcase. They told us we would have our luggage by 7:00pm and we had our way before then.

Shortly after boarding we made dinner reservations for Cagney's & Le Bistro. The food at Cagney's was MUCH better than I expected. The filet mignon I had was one of the best I've ever had. Le Bistro was just ok. We had awesome waiters at both restaurants. The buffet is about what you would expect. For breakfast I would highly recommend The Palace. Nice sit down restaurant that is included with the freestyle dining. Dinner there wasn't as impressive. If you don't like food at one place, you can go to another place or hit the buffet. The hidden gem we found was Longboard Sports Bar. The wait staff here was exceptional! Especially Muthu & Shighash.

We swam withe the dolphins in Freeport. It was the most incredible experience ever!! Read more
