Glad to hear that overall you had a good cruise with a few blips.:)

Looking forward to our cruise in a few short weeks. Thanks for the mini review. A bit cryptic, but got the gist in less than a minute.

Good info! Sorry about the poor bird:(

had spa room on 11, husband used spa everyday. I used it 4 times. Jacuzzis not very hot.

lots of fun stuff for kids (slides, outdoor games). Found buffet layout to be awful, low ceilings, narrow walkways, dark. Buffet had very boring food. Dining room was Okay we had very good service at anytime--found a great waiter (Jonathan) and stuck with him. Brunch in DR was terrible. Cucina was good for dinner. Needed more pools for that number of people but there were plenty of chairs. Lots of fun costumes for Halloween. CD was amateur and shows not that good. La Romana did ProExcursions to Saona--beautiful place. Curacao had rain did Irie tour not so great. Should have walked into town. Grand Turk was good been there 2 ot 3 times. Loved the beach in Aruba. Sadly weather on sea days was very cloudy and not much going on on the ship. Casino was very busy. Atrium singers too much Latin stuff. A big crowd in Ocean terrace area. Comedian shows very crowded and too small a venue. The art auction guy was pretty entertaining. Hated the photo area smack in the middle of atrium takes up too much space. A good CC group. Did not like the piano bar dude. Embarkation and disembarkation very smooth. Took SAS to FLL very reasonable took 30 minutes no traffic at all.
