We've been back from our cruise for a week now and really it was an awesome cruise. Forgive my spelling errors please :).

Embarkation: After a hectic first day (AND I MEAN AWFUL!), we got on the ship without any problems (We didn't have to wait in a separate line for an hour thankfully).

The Ship: Ok, seriously, the public rooms were awesome! The atrium really impressed us. The whole ship was still decorated for christmas so it looked like the whole ship was illuminated and going to sail away all glittering. Our favorite public room was definitely the Wheelhouse Bar. The public rooms were really all great. The pool area was sometimes loud but really impressive and a LOT better than Disney's. The Lotus Pool was a real nice quiet place.The atrium was very dramatic in a sense that it made you feel like you were getting the elegant treatment. We went up to Baja Deck to see our mini-suite which was real nice. It felt bigger and it was bigger than our last room. Our deck, which really was amazing, was for 4 people and was extremely panoramic. Our steward was extremely nice and quick (no more than 5 - 15 minutes to get our room ready for evenings). Our favorite public room out of all the rooms is definitely the Wheelhouse Bar. The was a big room that had nice music playing, great decor, views, and we spent every night from about 6 - 7:30 there just talking and laughing as a family. The Princess Theatre was really nice (however it seemed that the theatre was small for the amount of people that wanted to go in). The casino LOOKED nice and it was all open to the public hallways on deck 6. The Universe Lounge was really a great place to see a show or participate in a game show (If you want to participate in the marriage game, don't bring you're kids cause they ask questions about "gardening"). The Card room and Library were really quiet places that you could go just to relax and calm down. However on evenings at sea, the card room was very full. The internet cafes were really nice and welcoming and the news ticker was neat. Going now to deck 14 to the Lido pool. The Lido pool was really spectacular with 3 hot tubs around it, a large pool that could easily accommodate the people that want to go in it, and really great pizza and burgers. The Lotus Pool is where our family put our chairs. They had the roof closed the whole trip and it was way quieter than the Lido pool. The ice-cream bar was really fabulous (except the line ups can clog up on hot sea days) and you can create really neat creations. The gym was nice but smallish for the cruise and could get busy on morning sea days so get there early! The hidden treasure of the ship is at the very back at the Family Pool. It was usually dead and it provided stunning views of the back of the ship. The most panoramic pathway of all the ship is coming from the inside of the Lotus Pool heading back towards the splash pool. The mini-golf on deck 15 was err interesting. There wasn't any child supervision and there was a whole group of kids throwing the golf balls over the side and throwing clubs everywhere. The add onto that, the golf course was in bad shape and they could of put more time into upkeeping it. Read more
