First time doing a freestyle cruise. Liked the flexibility, but we agreed that for a large group (8 in my family, 8 in friends) it was difficult to coordinate dinner and show. It is much easier when you know the time and table without the stress of having to wait. Reservations at the "free" restaurants are limited, and even though we did make reservations, it was still a challenge to coordinate. We did not go to the paid restaurants- unnecessary cost when in a large group. The food was decent- some things outstanding, some tasteless. Loved the cappuccino machines and pretzel rolls!!
During the days on the ship I took advantage of hanging out at the spa, reading, dozing, steam and jacuzzi! There is a fee to use the spa facility without getting a service. Well worth it. Loved the heated lounge chairs. Fitness center nice but often too crowded- lots of fit people. Didn't do classes that involved a fee- Pilate's, spinning
Not able to go to Stirrup Cay due to weather.
Interior room- very small, but bathroom very nice. good closet space.
location was good; 3 floors directly up was fitness center and spa. Rarely heard others in the hallway, but did smell cigarettes. If I had the choice, I would request non smoking
