The cabin was very nice lots of room and having two bathrooms was a godsend with a teenage daughter who claimed that as her bathroom when my son wasn't taking a bath in it.  In my cruise group I have heard others complain that it was noisy above them since the galley/restaurant is about family harbor but in this room I heard nothing.  It was close enough to the family harbor lounge to be easy to grab something but far enough away not to have the noise.

New York is very expensive a hard port to travel from. It is something everyone should do once now that I have been and my kids have been no plans on returning.

New York (Manhattan)

Worth the money it had snorkel time and time to hold the stingrays to get photo's we got back to spend some time a Jacks Shark well advised if you want activity.  This is a good port to be lazy on lay on a beach though since it is steps fromt the ship.

Overall this was my least favorite port of the trip but the golf cart people were awesome to work with.  They were swamped when the ship arrived and if you wanted a card you had to have a reservation.  They took my reservation with no credit card or deposit and held my cart for me.  This allowed us to tour island on our own see the light house, flamingos's, and donkey santuary by golf cart a real adventure for $100 bucks for whole day for a family of 4 a good value!

Reservation as expected, lots of drinks good food and a nice beach!

I went golfing with the cruise line by family went to the all inclusive resort I think they had the better day.  This course was a nice design but the conditions were not worth what we paid.

Went to Maho beach with 3,000 of our closest friends for thanksgiving day.  The tour operator went on local time but we were on ships time we thought we were 15 minutes early but really we were 45 minutes late.  The operator was kind enough to get us on a taxi and get us out to the location to join the tour.  It is something to experience once but as far as beaches go way to crowded!

On this 11 day sailing I had bar service less than ½ dozen times.On past ships we have had a head waiter, assistant, and bread person generally dining can be as quick as 45 minutes but no longer than 90.
