I was between three and four stars (circles lol) We have cruised to the ports on this cruise before but like both of them. In addition wanted to see Jay Leno. Trying to get good tickets in the Ct Casino where he appears at times isn't easy so we decided to combine a cruise and Leno.

Overall a very good time, above average customer care very friendly crew who appeared to really want us to have a good vacation. This helped to bring my rating up. The ship was as clean as it could possibly be, the rooms were just renovated and were very nice. We had a balcony on the Spa level. Generally we may have enjoyed this cruise more than on the Dream and Breeze partly because crew was simply better.

The Leno appearance was excellent, laugh after laugh. We did the VIP and he was gracious and getting VIP seating with champagne etc was a nice way to enhance the experience. Shows in general were good, not outstanding but somehow better than we saw on our last cruise on the Dream. Cruise director was everywhere, in a good way.

Cabin Review

Cabin Spa level Balcony

Cabin was just refurbished/remodeled and it looked it. (in a good way lol) Very clean nice looking and of course love having a balcony. Bed was the same as always meaning comfortable but not outstanding. New flat TV worked fine though the remote was finicky. For two of us plenty of space to unpack things. Did I say we love the balcony? :)

Couple of problems. We had asked the room steward for two things neither got done. We had no room service order forms and he never furnished them though we had asked. We just decided not to order in this trip. Second our Phone did not work because of a cord problem. About 34 hours after we asked the room steward to get it fixed we called the the customer service desk and it got fixed in about 25 minutes.

Port Reviews

Cozumel

We have been to Cozumel a few times so went on our own. I think it is starting to a little old for us though we always manage to have a good time. We did find a couple things while shopping and got a fantastic price on Amaretto, literally 1/3 the cost of home.

Key West

We have been to Key West several time, we live close enough to go on our own. We did things on our own there and had a good time.
