We arrived at pier about 11:00 and checked in; then waited until our group was called to board. By 11:30 -â€" 11:45 we were on the ship. The 4 year old was hungry so we ate at the buffet because Versailles did not open until 12 or 12:30. We explored the ship for a while, went to our cabins and then went to the Biergarten for the sail away.

Overall, we thought the ship was kept very clean and staff was very friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us. Our little one was up early on the first sea day - even before Versailles opened. We walked around the ship looking for breakfast. Not being fond of buffets, we were thrilled to find the Blue Lagoon which became our breakfast spot. It was quiet, a wall of windows, good food and great staff. They served a full breakfast with bacon and eggs cooked to order as well as French toast and omelets. We also enjoyed the Blue Lagoon at lunch, too.

Our time in Roatan was a bit of a disappointment. I had booked a Victor Bodden private tour. It was not worth it. He took us to see the monkeys -â€" but they are not indigenous to Roatan.

We asked about the butterfly farm and he told us it was the wrong time of year to see them. We asked about the iguanas and he told us it was completely booked up. Read more
