Sailed out of Galveston without delay. The cruise port was easy to get to and parking at EZcruise across from the cruise terminal was a breeze. They are courteous, professional, and will leave you laughing. Also, the lot is surrounded by a barbed wire fence so you know that your car in all likelihood is in a very safe place. A great way to start your cruise. :)

My wife wasn't feeling well and so I was destined to spend the first few days exploring the ship mostly on my own.

It honestly made me want to spend a lot of time in bed and sleeping in was very easy to do. So at least if she wasn't feeling well, she wasn't feeling well in a king size bed with luxurious sheets.

I was on the Navigator of the Seas last year and so I was able to see the differences of the dry dock upgrades. The main noticeable differences were the Flowrider (which I took major issue with and will mention shortly) and the new restaurants. Also, we had a beautiful TV in our interior stateroom.

Great picture and it swung out very conveniently for watching in bed. Read more
