To put it in a nutshell....G. R. E. A. T... Now we know everyone won't agree, but this is our story.. We arrived @ urami Port at approx 1120 and was in our cabin approx 11.45...Easiest embarkation ever... just go in the Lattitudes line. We went to look around the ship and before 2 we had our 1st piece of luggage. (the only contents was sodas, wine, rum and a bottle of whiskey, pair of sandals) (I can hear the comments now) and we met some folks that had everything confiscated until the last day, but ours got through, so its up to u whether you try or not. Nuff said... We grabbed a bite to eat at the Raffles and before 3 the other 2 bags were outside the door, so we had everything put up before the life boat drill.. (oh yeah.. there is a drill at 4pm and if you don't go you will go to the make up at 10 am on the next morning.. your choice.)

Plenty of room.. closet space is more than adequate as well as plenty of drawer space. We put 4 suitcases under the beds with no problems. Put both beds together in front of window and asked for a egg crate mattress cover and it was fine. Our cabin was one of the best for location and noises etc.. we had cabin 5100. The room stewards were the best ever, kept everything up and would do anything to make your stay more pleasant. I had a small cooler bag and wanted them to keep it filled...The Steward went and got an Igloo cooler (lots better) for us to use and it was never empty of ice.

Ship is beautiful and clean clean clean... OK go ahead all you white glove enthusiasts that want to pick everything apart and you will find something wrong I am sure... but to us it was clean, neat, well taken care of and just in great shape. You do tender into Grenada and St. Lucia... The rest are at the docks.. we didn't do any tours etc; so we don't have any comments about them.. The Windows and Garden Restaurants are superb.. the service puts most other lines to shame.. (our opinion after 12 cruises including RCCL, HAL, PRINCESS, CARNIVAL). We tried the Bistro and the food was excellent, but the service was better in the Windows or Garden... Timing is everything and we never had to wait for a table or received bad service.. A dining experience on most ships is an hour or more and to us is expected and enjoyed. We put our names on the waiting list one night and was seated within 10 minutes as we wanted a table for just us that night. This was approx 6:45 PM in the Garden. They will get you whatever you want.....we had onion rings from the kids menu, cobb salads substituted for a regular salad and however you want to mix it up you can go for it... they are really super or at least the ones we had were..
