From beginning to end, this trip was perfect! No snags or unhappy events! I can't wait to go again. Before embarkation we spent 3 days in Daytona Beach with my husband's uncle. They are great people and we were happy to see them. It was my first visit to Daytona Beach, and we really liked the town. If you have an uncle in Daytona Beach, you should go visit them! We drove down on Sunday and arrived at the port about 1pm. From the moment we stepped into the check in building until we were on the ship finding our room was just 15 minutes!!!! I timed it. I couldn't believe it! Smooth, smooth smooth!!! Our luggage arrived in a reasonable time. When we went to dinner that night we were pleased with out seatmates. One couple was from Denmark and were great to chat with. The other couple lived about 2 hours from us, so we had a great time discussing local stuff when the Danes were at the specialty dining. The dining staff were top notch and provided outstanding service.

We did a lot of resting and drinking on this trip. I recommend a yellow bird and a mojito. Every drink was expertly poured and every bar staff was friendly and chatty. Every lounge chair was comfy and so inviting....

Johnny rockets was deelish, The dining room food was superb and even the snacky stuff on the promenade was so so yummy. We never ordered room service or went to chops/Portofino's because there were so many other things that we wanted. I love dessert, and I had many.

Cabin Review

The cabin was tight, but everything fit. We had a hard time skootching around the corner of the bed in the promenade room. If you are very large/obese it might actually be uncomfortable. The view from the promenade room was great and I loved people watching. We are hooked on promanade rooms from now on!
