Comments

This was the best vacation experience I have ever had, and that inluces vacations in Hawaii, Europe, and Disneyworld. Although we heard that cruises were for
old people, we (and many people we met who were are age - early 30s) extremely enjoyed it. I'll start with the food - We heard rave reviews, and the food
definitely lived up to the reviews. My wife and I often dine at exclusive and equisite restaurants and this was on a par with them. It is impossible to not overeat.
Services was outstanding! The ship was extremely clean, and we stayed in a Sky Suite which offered many outstanding services. Our room was always clean, it
seems like every time I used the bathroom, whenever I came back it was clean. I think they cleaned bathrooms twice a day. The only unfavorable comment we
put forth was that for those with main seating (6:00pm until 8:00pm), there was not much entertainment between 8:30pm and 10:30pm. Most interesting and
widely attended activities did not start until 10:30pm, except for the Theatre which had a show almost every night. We would enjoy a cigar in the cigar bar and hit
the slots until 10:30pm, so there were still things to do. I recommend trying to plan your own excursions. The ship excursions was expensive and often crowded.
The two excursions that we booked ourselves were more enjoyable. I recommend Horseback riding in the ocean in Jamaica (not a ship excursion), Dunns River
falls, Mayan Ruins, and Sting Ray City. The snorkeling in Key West aboard the Fury Catamaram was very disappointing. With a suite, we had priority Embarkation
and Disembarkation which was super. We are hooked and look forward to sailing again.
