This was our seventh cruise (four different cruise lines)and they've all been great. The only change that we noticed was that they no longer blast announcements in your stateroom; we had to open our door to hear them. In fact, they made fewer announcements over all.

The walk was nice too because the area is lushly landscaped with benches and porch swings sitting in the shade. The water was warmer than the other stops and you could rent floats for only $6. We did see a couple of rays in the water, so watch where you walk.
