We chose this cruise to utilize the $$ that they us owed because of skipped port on a transatlantic cruise. Also, we spend the winter In Fort Lauderdale so it's an easy choice.

There are lots of things to recommend this ship but I'll start with a big downside - the inside cabin. we've always like an inside cabin for a variety of reasons but this was the smallest that we've seen. But the biggest problem, and the one that you should be aware of, is that this cabin is said to be able to house 4 persons. Nooo. In addition to the queen-size bed there are 2 fold-down cots. That's the problem. There about 18 inches of space on either side of the bed. The cots are mounted on the walls alongside the bed and extend about 10 inches into the room (when not opened). So to get into and out of the queen-size bed you get about 8 inches of space. You can't negotiate your way into or out of the bed without bunking your head 2 or 3 times. This room should come with a surgeon general's warning - like a pack of cigarettes. It is harmful to your health. To get into the bed safely you need to crawl into the bed from the foot of the bed. That being said - the bed is very comfortable. The TV in the room is great - good news shows and good movies and more.

Dining - we liked the food and arrangement in the buffet. We had breakfast and lunches there. The main dining rooms were easily available for anytime dining of reservations. The food was fine and the service was good. (We are not fussy about food.) Read more
