Background: My seventh cruise, DH's fourth (RCCL, Carnival, HAL).
We nabbed this cruise for a birthday/anniversary get away started with an interior cabin in steerage, and after two upgrades and three price drops, ended up with a Superior Oceanview for $40 less than what we originally booked our interior cabin. Our plane tickets to MIA were more expensive than the cruise!
It's hurricane season, and we were properly armed with travel insurance and a healthy level of patience for what the weather might bring. While we dodged Gustav, Hanna, and Ike, it left really hot and painfully humid days reminding us of how nice the Caribbean is in December. :-)
Reasonably sized, obstructed view, bad design enclosing fridge (really warm to the touch!), and stinky bathroom. High placement means you feel rough seas more. Note to RCCL: lose the shower curtain!
