Our cabin itself was great.  We have stayed in "Q" category rooms and prefer the "Q", but that was not available for us this time. No big deal, except that we were closer to the Center Atrium that we realized and we could hear all the party noise from the Main Dining Room and the Promenade. We are moderately early to bed and would have appreciated a room down the hall away from elevators and party areas.  Our Stateroom Steward, Sean, was fantastic.  We did recognize him with a "WOW experience" envelope and gift.  He always had something to say to us in the hallway, knew our first names and asked us "how our day was?" "did you enjoy the port today?" "How was dinner?" "you look spectacular!"

When I booked the tour through RCCL, I didn't realize the strenuous nature of the walk.  I was totally unprepared to climb that rock hill and then going down was even worse.  My husband is unsteady on his feet and was holding my hand, but he did better than me. I had to have an additional man help me going down the hill, I thought for sure I would fall.  And there was a lady on crutches who breezed through this tour. We did like the explanation of the "nature" part and the tour guide, Sandra, was very easy to understand.

This was a very good tour and we had fun on the open air "trolley."  The driver stopped at various places to get out of driver's seat for little chats with us.  He had a great personality and made the trip fun.  I didn't get his name. The island was very pretty and flowers were in great bloom!

What a fun trip and great scenery. The driver was Jimmy and he was great, very informative.  We stopped in St. Martin (French side) had fun looking at the street vendors and found a shop, Mayaa, where we purchased a few things.  I got a little charm for necklace/bracelet by mentioning our driver's name to the shop clerk. It started to pour down rain while on the bus.  The tour ended and Jimmy said we could sit on the bus for a little bit to let rain slow down. One guest asked if Jimmy could get us as close to pier as possible, to allow us to make a mad dash to ship. He was very gracious to drive that little bit extra for us. We had just enough time to let rain fade off a bit and only stepped lively to reach the pier.

We didn't take a short excursion in Orlando, FL

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

At dinner time in the Main Dining Room, my husband's dinner was served very quickly, while I had to wait 15-20 minutes for my meals.As my husband and I are non-smokers and I have migraine headaches from prolonged exposure to 1st hand tobacco smoke, I found this very uncomfortable and disconcerting.
