* Stateroom was nice in general, but closest is at end of couch/bed, and in our case since we had 4 in our room, we use the flip down bunk making it difficult to access the closet.

* King bed but was pretty much hard as a board and not comfortable.  

* Bathroom was decent, while the plexiglass type shower enclosure looks nice and was functional, it made the space between the toilet, the counter on the right and the shower plexi on the left fairly small and uncomfortable for a large person. Would have preferred a shower curtain personally for more flexibility in the space.

* Balcony was of average size, but the two deck chairs were not comfortable and neither reclined at all.

Easy embarkation.  We were super early which meant waiting for our room to be ready, but also gave time to make reservations for onboard activities

Miami

Took the Norman Island snorkeling excursion.  Probably the best snorkeling experience I have ever had.

Tortola

Did the Snuba experience at Coral World with Tammy.  She took her time educating and preparing us for the excursion, which was great.  We had done snuba before but all of her training was welcomed.  As for the experience itself, we entered the water from a crowded beach (Coki beach?) which was ok but had to avoid swimmers.  Current underwater was strong and made it more difficult, but Tammy constantly checked on us which I appreciated.  Not as much to see as in Tortola, I asked if the hurricanes had destroyed things but Tammy said that a noreaster like stork came through with a wave that destroyed a lot of corals.  

After a fairly long bus ride (maybe 30 to 40 min) we arrived at Stewart Cove&#39;s.  Appeared to be a more diver centric place which was cool by us.  Short boat ride out to first stop which was an underwater statue and where a plane from one of the Jaws movies was submerged.  Not a ton to see at the stop.  Second stop was a much more expansive reef area with plenty to look at.  Not as cool as Tortola but still pretty nice.  Third stop was a shipwreck where Caribbean reef sharks are located.  Everyone gently got in water (don&#39;t splash) while the sharks were entertained by a bait box hanging 20 feet below us.  They were not realy being fed, but more so distracted by it.  We all had to cling to a buoy line which made it very crowded and too personal with some of our fellow snorkelers at times.  Still very cool to see these majestic creatures glide almost effortlessly through the water.  At the end of the snorkel they intentionally beat on the water and splashed to attract the sharks up to the surface so we could see them up close.    

Again make your reservations once you get on board so you get your preferred time

* Specialty dining food was especially good at Los Lobos and Teppenyaki.Reservations for specialty dining, reservations for laser tag, racetrack, shows, on top of any shore excursions made this the most time bound cruise I've ever taken.
