We went on this cruise with a group of ten people (5 couples.) The cruise was awesome. We had a balcony cabin. My husband really enjoyed sitting out on the balcony. We enjoyed the pools. The Tides pool is a little quieter than the Resort pool, which is where they play music, play games and have a large big screen. Service was excellent in the dining room, bars and pool areas. Whether you eat at a dining room, the lido buffet or one of the many restaurants, the food was very good. We ate at the steak restaurant, well worth it. We also ate at the BBQ restaurant, not bad. Some of our friends went on the ship brewery tour and loved that. We went to a movie in the IMAX theater. It was amazing. The shows were great! Do not miss the Love and Marriage game show. We enjoyed the comedy shows, musicals and the game shows. There is a violin and string electric band that plays in the atrium which is fantastic. I enjoyed the spa. I paid extra for yoga classes, thermal chairs and whirlpool/sauna time and a spa day. The spa is well worth it. The gym is very clean and has a great view. I went down the water slide: very fun for all ages. There is a serenity deck which is quiet and has a calm feeling. I loved every minute. Aruba and Bonaire were great. It rained hard the day we went to Curacau. Other guests said snorkeling in Bonaire was the best they ever did. The best thing about the cruise was our cruise director, Cookie. He made the cruise so fun! I will always cherish the memories.
