In depth review but things you might need to know: Great embarkation, no time at all.

Cabanas on board: There are only 5 of them. I took a train from Orlando to Miami, the day before, so I could be the first on board to get one. Two terminals that board the ship. Unfortunately, the other terminal let them on board first. Ran to guest services and only a few people ahead of me. I didn't get the cabana. Don't get your hopes up in getting one. Tried to get an appointment with Hotel Director but was granted a meeting with guest service manager. She was gracious and listened. She advised me someone had cancelled the cabana this morning and she asked if I still wanted one. Of course I did. What a wonderful feature to have on a ship. Up on 17th deck key, card programmed to get into the Vibe. open from 7am-11pm. Bar open from 9am-7pm. Great place to see the stars and the fireworks. Most days, not many people and you have it to yourself on Port Days. Comfortable lounge chairs and a insulated well to keep your items there throughout the cruise. Bottle water will stay cool. Fruit skewers available at the bar or delivered to you. Cookies on one day and cold towels handed out or at the bar. 2 hot tubs. Big open shower to cool off in. The cabanas are $299 for 2 people for the week with a $100 on-board credit for food and drinks at the Vibe bar. For regular lounge cushioned chairs I believe the price was $79 for the week. Nice and quiet area for adults only. Best place to relax on board.

Balconies on regular balcony rooms 2 chairs and a little table. Smaller than most balconies but still okay to sit outside.

Cabin Review

Balcony cabin forward- Port side balcony cabins can see the firework display. Smaller balcony but larger bathroom and room. Must use key card in slot by the door for any power to work.
