Finally decided to sail away for Christmas. We had a group of 12 consisting of ages from 13-65. The ship was beautifully decorated, the staff was wonderful and the weather was almost perfect. We had a forward cabin w/window on deck 7 that overlooked the "public" deck. The room was smaller than I anticipated, having stayed in this category cabin before. However, our cabin steward was awesome. He went above and beyond to accommodate our every wine glass, xtra towel request and made sure our cabin stayed spotless. Chloe was the CD, she was fun and full of energy. The only thing lacking seemed to be the food this time. Portion sizes in the dining room were very small(filet the size of a silver dollar) and the overall quality and selection was lack luster. We ate more meals on lido due to the time it took to have a not so great meal in the dining room. We chose "my time dining" and it was a cluster at most times. I will not be choosing that option again. Ports we mostly good, Amber Cove was a fun relaxing day, Santo Domingo was just ok, Curacao was beautiful and was wonderful to see the sunset while at port, Aruba by far was the best, never disappointed there. We did the North Shore Jeep Tour with ABC Travel and had a blast. Highly recommend them. Overall, we had a fabulous time, there were a few disappointments but nothing that could ruin our trip.
