I chose this cruise because a group of local people were traveling together. How pleased I was with the total package. The choice of 3 specialty restaurants and the beverage package made the trip fun and less stressful. I loved my choices for dinning and it as great not to billed for drink. All the food from the buffet to the best steakhouse was excellent. Family members had been on this ship earlier in the year and had only great things to say. I had been on the Breakaway last year and loved both ships. I think I prefer the freestyle cruising now that I travel with friends and now that I'm a senior, dressing up just isn't that important. Travel agents make sure cruiser know about preplanning shows and restaurants.

The staff was very helpful. The ports were fun and easy to visit. The private island is always my favorite stop. This was no exception. The weather was great. The water was warm. Best possible fun in the sun experience.
