It was all about the dates. Closest to Birthday and Anniversary. We had been twice before to Western Caribbean. We wanted to do a Larger ship and it was GREAT! Only time you knew there were 4100 passengers was when you needed an elevator. Food was a 10 except the Cirque Dreams Dinner. We hit Cagney's and La Cucina which were Amazing and worth it. The shows were Super and it was a great cruise. We had done the beaches and waterfalls before so this trip we did Bus tours around the Islands. The were really nice and we saw more of the Island's everyday life vs the water sports. Even at Stirrup Cay last day, we stayed on ship and had 3500 less people at the pool it seemed. We loved the Pub and went there 4-5 times. One night we even blew off our 2nd nighIt was all about t at Cagney's for just some drinks and Fish n chips at the pub while we watched kids bowling.

At tip : get to the ship Port EARLY or show up late. longest wait we have had in 20 years. We had planned to get there at 11am but ended up ,due to shuttle from hotel at Cocoa Beach, GETTING THERE AT 12:15..LINE WAS long waiting to get up to sign in areas.took an hour and we went right to the pub and had nice lunch while we waited for our cabin and bags.We were in the room by 2pm.
