This cruise was about what we expected. We departed from Port Canaveral without issue and enjoyed our first 2 sea days. They showed the Patriots/Jaguars playoff game on the big screen and we were happy to see the Patriots win. There were some issues with the dining. There was a long line at the "your time" dining desk and it took a while to get seated. Service was also slow in the dining room but the food was excellent. We spent a lot of time in the casino but were disappointed with the smoking there. Even when we weren't playing, we couldn't pass through without going through a cloud of smoke.

Our day in Aruba was great. We took a cab to Eagle Beach and enjoyed some time in the water. Then we took a cab to Matthews Restaurant and enjoyed a great dinner. They had a special on ribs so we all had and loved them.

In Bonaire, we took the island tour which was very interesting. Our stop at Grand Cayman was cancelled due to some medical emergencies. We ended up going to Amber Cove instead and enjoyed a day at the pool. Two of us tried the zip line (only $20 for all day) that went over the pool and were glad we did. Read more
