Price was right, They have upgraded added meal options and bars on Lido deck. It does not have Alchemy but it does have a bar that serves Martinis & drinks like the Alchemy which is great. Also had new EFFY store on ship with great prices. Kevin,cruise director was a hoot. Went to PG puchline which were both very good. Room service by Japhet was excellent. Inspiration dining room service was great at times & other times think they probably could have used more help. They worked hard to keep us happy which they succeeded mostly. Maitre de did accommodated us in arranging 6 of us to 1 table. We really appreciated that. Also enjoyed the new app Fun Hub, I liked being able to isolate my favorite activities. On a bigger ship will add texting for $5 for each phone. I really enjoyed 101 on Thomas Kincade & learned a lot. And had fun with Yatzee. Next time may do more games. We had a great time & will do again.
Upgrade was wonderful from last year. There was a refrigerator, hair dryer and separate wooden hangers new in the room. The layout of the room felt sooo much bigger. Will definitely do interior again in Elation and maybe another new ship.
We have been here a few times. This time we walked to Graycliff chocolatier but did e not take the tour but the history is fascinating. Then on the way to John Watlings distillery saw the Catholic Church, interesting. At John Watlings took the free tour & free taste. Would definitely purchase a Pina Colada taste great. Then went shopping. Next time will take the local #10 bus to beaches & the fort north of the pier. Great to visit just take the locals in stride. They are friendly just pushing their wares,
Second time here & always fun. Food was great. Very relaxing
