The ship is beyond expectations. Embarkation was simple and quick and we were on the ship prior to 11:30 The shear enormity of the ship will blow you away when you first enter the promenade. I headed for the park cafe with my sister for a salad and my husband an boys opted for the windjammer for volume and variety. We had balcony cabin 14322 which is at aft/ port under the mini golf. My sister and my boys had room 8670 which was close to the aft elevators. My boys originally had an interior room across from ours but when my sister choose to go with us they switched to a neighborhood balcony room and were pleasantly surprised when they upgraded to an ocean-view balcony. They expected it to be noisy and were shocked at how quite it was. They loved the convenience of the location. I did the champagne brunch which included a tour of the galley which was awesome. We got to see all three kitchens and was followed by a lunch. I wasn't wowed by the food in the main dining room but it was acceptable but there were so many other pluses to the cruise. The amount of activities available was astounding. You truly can be busy for 24/7 if you choose. The quality of the shows were excellent. Now for the my disappointments. I am a good tipper. Unfortunately many people do not tip well so I understand they need for automatically adding tips to the bill. This, however, leads in my opinion to lack of service. Although all the staff was polite, no one went out of there way to provide exceptional service. This was most apparent in the bar staff. We had the beverage package so tips of 18% were included and only a couple of times did I add an additional tip. Most wait staff did their job and nothing more. My husbands biggest disappointment was the casino. They do not have low limit tables except for an hour a day on selected days and this was not on every table. Needless to say he didn't utilize the casino. The ports of calls were Nassau, St. Thomas, and San Juan. Nassau was useless because we were there for such a short time. We originally booked a 1/2 day aqua adventure but cancelled because we found out we would literally only have 1 1/2 hours to enjoy Atlantis and that is far from being worth $125. pp. We booked a private dive on St. Thomas and just walked around and then did went to the fort in San Juan. All and all I highly recommend the ship and would book again so I can continue to see everything the ship has to offer since 1 week was not enough,
