Well, a few days off the boat (and reading about the cruise right after ours with Noro...ug!) gave me some time to finally put down some thoughts on this cruise.

A few disclaimers:

- I'm providing this purely as my experience. Others on the cruise may have experienced something different. Anyone reading this will likely experience something different. I've been on this and other forums long enough to know that at least someone who is smarter/better looking/funnier/more experienced/etc. than me will have their own opinion and comment below. If you'd like their opinion, I recommend you ask them; meanwhile this is just mine. :)

Cabin Review

Interior

Cabin 6V

As indicated above, opted for inside as to be able to get two cabins...for what we spent, we could have probably gotten a large suite during non-peak cruises but that timing wasn't an option for us. Cabin was sufficient...we just don't spend a lot of time there. I did see some of the cabins that actually were smaller (didn't think it possible) with less room between the two twin beds and a smaller desk. I wasn't pleased with the cleanliness when we arrived (see above, still personal items left over from previous cruise) as well as the ratty/torn towels. Didn't end up having as much interaction with our steward as we did previous cruises. Room was right above spa...zumba at 0900 is early on sea days! Be ready for it! Finally, up front, so we felt the wind, we felt the waves, and we still felt the azipods as the ship moved/positioned.

Port Reviews

St. Thomas

We were supposed to do the BOSS Underwater adventure, but since the ship was so late arriving it got cancelled.

St. Maarten

Beach was beautiful, was not as thrilled with the shopping opportunities.

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

Embarkation was great, see the review above.
