Ok,so I know everyone has been waiting for this so here it goes!

OK so it was bad, just let me tell you what they did to me! THEY MADE ME GET OFF THE SHIP!!!! Who cares that it was the end of my cruise, I did not want to hear that! So I sulked and got my bags and sadly got off of the ship. Although I thought about hiding out on the sun deck in hopes they would not find me.;) The ship was great, the food was good and we loved it. The new water slides are sooo much fun, we came back to the ship early on our port day so we pretty much had it to ourselves. They took very good care of us on the adults only deck, and no there were NO kids. They seemed to keep that in check. Our room was nice, a regular inside room.It seemed that the refurb had made a difference on the entire ship as far as the public areas go. The ship seemed very clean and like new. I have seen lots of pics of the ship before the refurb and it seems that it was a big update! Yes the main color is still purple but it is not like Barney did the decorating. Nothing was a loud color and I did not feel like I was on a vegas cruise ship not a carnival ship. As far as the lido deck goes, yes kids are allowed in the hot tubs there. And trust me they were full of them. Kinda looked like kid stew there were so many of them. But like I said, the serenity area was great and no kids allowed! Get the drink special card. I paid 26.00 for it,tip and all. You get five DOD on the card along with one DOD glass. You do save $ on the DOD,it was more expensive than before.

We got to port in Nassau and got off of the ship soon after we were cleared. Our Yellow Bird trip was canceled because of lack of other people wanting free drinks. Can't understand why but oh well. We just walked around town And we ran into a surprise. We were walking down the sidewalk and almost ran over Steven Tyler, yes the Steven Tyler!!!! We walk into the store after him and after we could breathe and "Shopped" about 2ft away from him. OMG!!!!!! That was SO COOL! So we did not mind missing our Yellow Bird trip after that.
