This was my 1st solo cruise so I was a little nervous, but it was great. Met a great group of guys in the Imagination dining room the 1st night and hung out with them and a couple from Illinois the entire trip. The food was good (try the escargot and lasagna bolognese for sure on the 1st night!) pretty much the entire trip. The only thing to look out for is the penne mariscos on the final night in the Imagination dining room; they use shark scallops instead of the real thing, and the pasta was undercooked. Very yucky.

The Divas and adults only comedy were great. The Divas show is really for younger folks since the older people won't know many of the songs. The songs were all from female singers in recent years, so it was party time! Willie the comedian is nasty but hilarious. NO kids under 17 at his show, for sure.

The ship itself was very clean and nice. The room was great; stayed in R236. The 1st night out the water was rough and it was fun to see the spray hit the window since the water wasn't but about 15 feet below me. Could have been farther down, but it didn't look it. Quite mesmerizing! I stared at it for about an hour before going to sleep. Be sure to pack motion sickness meds b/c there were a lot of folks getting sick that 1st night. I don't get sick on the water at all; my luck I get sick when I get back on land. Was dizzy and queasy the whole weekend when I got home.

Two closets, nice big window, remote for TV didn't work; had to keep banging it to get it to do anything. Very clean.
