My sister and I sailed without our husbands and had a GREAT time. The weather was beautiful while we were gone. We missed the storm here, and fortunately the Saturday storm did not really develop. The staff at the pier was good, and the staff on board was terrific. We skipped 2 of the shows, to get good seats in the centrum for the dance parties. We heard the Rebecca & Donovan were great, but the music in the centrum was also fantastic.

On sea days, we spent quite a bit of time on deck 5 or 6 sitting around the centrum listening to the music, looking out the windows or people watching, interspersed with reading or playing games or puzzles on our iPad. It was very relaxing.

The Ports were great as well. We toured the Kennedy Space Center, and took the Conch Train tour in Key West. I'm ready to do it again (that will make 3 times). Baltimore is convenient and easy to get to and from. Royal Caribbean gives great cruise itineraries, and outstanding service.
