Serenade of the Seas Review

Additional details
As a solo cruiser, I chose this cruise for the Southern Caribbean itinerary. Did excursions at every port. All were excellent except boat cruise to Pitons in St Lucia due to rain. Fog and rain prevented us from being able to see the Pitons. However, tour guides were amazing and we all seem to have a great time regardless. Embarkation process was very efficient and fast. However, luggage was not delivered to staterooms until just after sailing at 4:00 p.m. Ate most meals in the Windjammer. Food was excellent with lots of variety. Service by staff was outstanding. Entertainment in the Theatre was fantastic. Comedians were hilarious. Had to go early to get a seat. Lots of activities to do on board. Never got bored. Cruise Director, Carly, was wonderful and very enthusiastic. Sun deck chair hogs a problem. Left their belongings on the chairs and would disappear for hours. Therefore, I spent too much time looking for a chair and most times ended up in the Aft area in a tiny corner not being able to enjoy all the activities taking place by the pool. Staff only appeared to enforce the 30 minute no chair reservation rule the last 2 days of sailing. Disembarkation process went very smooth and fast. Ship was great overall. Good size so not too much time spent getting from one place to another.
Cabin Review
Interior Stateroom
Great stateroom room size. Included a small love seat and coffee table. Plenty of closet space with sufficient number of hangers. Dresser drawers and end tables provided additional space for clothing. 24 inch suitcase fit nicely under the bed. Desk and chair. End table lamps were great. Lots of lightning in the room. Bathroom was small, but sufficient. Towels were soft - Egyptian cotton. Shower size was small, but had enough room to turn around. Shower water was hot and pressure was absolutely excellent. Bedding was clean, pillows were soft and fluffy, duvet was warm. Room thermostat was great. Room location was just perfect. 30 second walk to midship elevators and far enough that it was quiet.
A few negative things: Fridge was too small and not cold enough with no temperature control available. Safe too small- Ipad did not fit inside. No electrical outlets near the bed to charge electronic devices. Only two available on the desk.
