Additional details
So this reviews a bit long but very informative. I try to write it for the person who likes details and who may have never cruised before. You might be just like me or you might be totally different, in which case things I loved you might not or things I didn’t like, you might love!
I’m a 34 yr old female traveling with friends. This being said I don’t have kids but I’m not easily bothered by them. I work in the hospitality and travel world, serve, bartend, manage, make hotel reservations and I don’t get bothered easily by what a lot of the other reviewers pointed out. I’m easy going and liked a lot of things about the cruise. When I go away I don’t expect to be pampered or wowed, I just like to be left to my own devices and like to have some drinks relax and chill out. Keep this in mind if you’re the type of traveler who wants be made to feel like they are the most important person out there. Did I feel like royalty on the ship? No. Did I want to be made to feel like that? No. Did I feel special? Yes. But I wanted to do my own thing, which is what I felt like was great about this cruise. When I needed the attention it was there with amazing service. I saw a lot of people who required that certain level of attention get it. At the same time I saw a lot of needy passengers who treated the staff like they were dirt which aggrivated me. The crew work their butts off. You’re on vacation, relax, your lucky to be on it. So hopefully this gives you an idea of what type of person I am...lol
I sailed feb 1-8th from Miami. It was my first cruise and I definitely enjoyed myself. After reading a lot of the reviews I was skeptical. So I’ll address some of the main concerns people had.
Cabin Review
Family Balcony
Rooms: I really liked our room! We were on the 13th floor close to the elevators and by the end of the ship. (which is great if you use the gym because its right above you on the 14th floor,( didn’t hear a thing), and the 15th floor has the pool deck. Very convenient, and not a lot of walking. Yes it’s curvy but attractive. I went with one of my best male friends so the bathroom and shower set up wasn’t so bad for us. By the 2nd day you get used to it…lol However, if you’re not that close of friends or you like your privacy in the bathroom it might be an issue for you. Can you see through the frosted glass and be heard? Kinda. If you are a new couple and haven’t gotten passed the fact that we all have bodily functions then this set up isn’t for you lol. And yes the toilet is loud when it flushes, but it didn’t bother me, I’m on vacation who cares about that stuff!! There is a privacy curtain that blocks the separate toilet and shower area but it is right by the door, so if you’re changing or showering and your roommate is outside the room and wants to come in, you def have to lock the door or organize times…lol But like I said, you’re on vacation!
