We started our trip on cruise day. We took a chance and flew into Houston (Hobby) airport and took the RCII shuttle to the port. This was very organized and event though we ran into traffic getting to the port we still arrived well before 2pm. Advantage was we walked right up to the desk, checked in and boarded the ship and went directly to our cabin.
Our cabin steward was Jose and he did a excellent job keeping ice in our room. We are easy to please, so thats our only request. We did however only had a towel animal every other night. We know that it wasn't just us, because others also said that was all they got as well. I do look forward to seeing these, so I was disappointed not to get one every night.
We had 2 sea days in a row, so it was very nice lesiurly days. First stop was Roatan. Very pretty place, we however did not have a excursion for here, so we only went to the port shops and spent the day on board.
The cabin is fine, small, but what do you need? A dance floor? Great balcony, we never hear noise from the hallways. We couldn't hear the announcments though. Overall, we got our moneys worth.
