Let me start off by saying this trip was for our honeymoon. The first cruise either of us have taken. It was just amazing from beginning to end! One of our honeymoon Gifts was a hotel room right on South Beach for the weekend, which was sooo nice and so convenient. We just got up that Sunday morning, left our car at a friends house, and had them drop us off at the Pier. The check in Process was pretty painless, we were on the ship within 20 minutes without any problems. The ship is so breathtaking...its HUGE and gorgeous. We went for some lunch at the Windjammer while we waited for our room to be ready...the food there was awesome and there was just so much of it! It was pretty crowded but that was to expect. We got to our room and it was just your typical room with a balcony...very nice! I highly recommend getting a room with a balcony. Our Room attendant Anthony was Excellent at keeping our room clean for us, and providing a million towels for us throughout that week :o) Our towel animals were something I always looked forward to. The bathroom was a little on the small and tight side, but you only spent a few minutes in there each day anyway so that was fine.

The entertainment onboard was fabulous, from the Welcome Aboard party at the pool deck, to the Ice skating show...they were all great! We went to most of the shows and Ken Rush the Cruise director was so good at what he did, he was pretty funny and pretty handsome too ;o) (shhhhh) They had a pretty funny Comedian on the last couple of days and he was just hilarious! I forgot his name but you have to go see him... The Love and Marriage Show was hilarious and was Quest, I highly recommend both of those shows! The parades at the Royal promenade were pretty cool, there was a 70's party (Dancing in the street), and a circus type parade... The music onboard was pretty ok, not the greatest, but it kept everyone entertained. They really did a good job at not letting anyone get bored.

The Dinning experience was from another world for us! Our waiter Abdel and his assistant waiter Cassenia were great! They were always checking on us making sure that we had everything we wanted. Now, I am a picky eater, and I didn't like the food that was on the Menu a couple of times, so he pretty much just got me whatever I wanted. Same thing with desert time. They had such fancy foods that I just wasn't used to. It all tasted pretty good, not the greatest food I've tasted, but good none the less. What can one really expect when they're cooking for 4,000+ people. Our dining buddies made it an even better experience. We were assigned to a table for 6, when we came the first night, there were 4 people already at our table and they told us that they weren't our permanent dining buddies, because they had the 6:30 dining time, but they missed it that day. So we were excited to see who our permanent buddies were. The next evening we came in only to find that table FULL of people. We went to one of the waiters, and they told us they weren't sure what happened but that they had gotten a table for 2 for us right next to what would be our table. That was totally fine with us, we ended up talking to the people from the other table which we ended up liking a lot more than the other group :o) Our waiters even put our tables together after the second night.
