We decided to try an extended cruise after many 7 day cruises on Carnival and Norwegian. This 9 day cruise turned out to be perfect for us and was also a perfect experience for our first time cruising firends.

The cruise started with 2 days at sea which allowed us to have a once in a lifetime private vow renewal ceremony performed just before sunset by cruise director Vincent. We want to say a special "Thank You" to Dela our special services coordinator for creating such a unique venue for our service. She was able to close off the entire starboard aft corner of deck 8 the Waterfront deck for our ceremony. This meant we could exchange our vows in front of the friends who had joined us and then celebrate with a special cake and champaign while having the ships professional photographer Zoe create some amazing sunset images for us to cherish forever.

Vincent not only made our service one to remember but his famous "I'll Sea Ya, When I Sea Ya!" became our mantra as our paths crossed several times throught to the week. The same was true of Dela as she was always around on different days to talk about the days activities and make sure we were enjoying our trip. Read more
