We are seasoned cruisers ( over 30 cruises) and traveled with 3 other couples all experienced cruisers. We have sailed RCL, Carnival, Norwegian, Princess and Viking.

There was a group on board "Concert at Sea" but they did not interfere with activities at all

We stayed the night before at Hampton Inn Plantation. We have stayed there before and liked the location and price. We took the shuttle to the port at noon. Since the ship was in wet dock the week before, we could go directly to our rooms.

Our room was clean, had sufficient storage and a wonderful cabin steward (Fidel). However, the balcony is extremely small from other cruise lines. Not an issue for us. Read more
