First time on RCCL for us and it was terrific! Being budget minded these days it was also our first time booking an interior room. Pleasantly surprised by our "cave" as we affectionately called it, we had some great nights sleeping in total dark. Plenty of room for me, my husband and our 5 year old daughter. The room was SO clean and had no smell except clean and neutral. We had room 8629 and Frankie was our attendant. The hallways smelled clean too. Ask me why I am mentioning this? Because on our last cruise on NCL Dream (supposedly refurbished) to Bermuda, the smoke smell in the hallway was a killer and the "old and stale and smokey" smell in our cabin was a huge turnoff.

Anyway, we lucked out and had Indian summer during our whole trip. The days were warm and sunny for the most part and the ocean was like glass - so no drugs for motion sickness needed - yipee! Aza, our waiter and Janet Jackson our head waiter and Aza's helper...not sure how to pronounce his name, were WONDERFUL!!!! Everyone spoiled our daughter who turned five on the trip. The photographer Juanita and the man photographer were terrific too and fun to chat with. Carolina at the front desk was stellar in helping me with a promotion issue from my travel company. We gave them all gifts and/or extra tips. They so deserved it!

We've been to Portland a million times as we live close by in Mass. so we just walked around town and then had a 3 1/2 hour liesurly lunch and plenty of cocktails at DeMilo's. Then we walked back past the ship on the paved walkway to the little beach. It was a bit further than we thought and the beach was very rocky/sharp shells but the weather was divine in the mid 80's. Lovely day for a walk and dip our toes in the ocean.
