Ironically our last cruise was in 2007 in the Caribbean on the AOS (not why we selected the ship this time). So its been a minute since we have chosen to spend our vacation $$on a cruise. The attraction was drive-ability to the port and the itinerary.

1. Boarding and dis embarkation was quite orderly and the process has benefited from the electronic records and screenings. I must note that we were traveling with son, dil and baby so there were some advantages being with an infant.

2. We had a JS on deck 9 and 191 sq ft cabin on deck 12 near the Spa. The JS was a nice size and was great for an infant or children as there is a bath tub. I don't believe it was worth $5000 especially charging $900 for an infant. The deck 12 location was terrific as you had immediate access to outside and the front of the ship was very quiet. I also hate trudging down the long corridors. HIgh marks for the location!!! Read more
